LFTD Partners Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS OF LFTD PARTNERS INC.

Description of the Business of LFTD Partners Inc. – LFTD Partners Inc. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “LFTD Partners”, the “Company”, “LIFD”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, etc.) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 2, 1986. Shares of the Company’s common stock are traded on the OTCQB Venture Market under the trading symbol LIFD.

On May 18, 2021, the Company amended its articles of incorporation with the State of Nevada to change its name to LFTD Partners Inc. from Acquired Sales Corp. In connection with the name change to LFTD Partners Inc., the Company filed a required notification with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), a self-regulatory organization that is involved with the coordination of the clearing, settling and processing of transactions in equity securities, including our common stock. The Company’s name change notification to FINRA included a request for a new stock trading symbol, LSFP, from AQSP, which was granted. On March 15, 2022, the Company changed its stock trading symbol to LIFD.

After acquiring, operating and then selling businesses involved in the defense sector, our business is currently involved in developing, manufacturing and selling a wide variety of branded products containing hemp-derived cannabinoids (e.g. delta-8-THC, delta-9-THC, delta-10-THC, THCV, HHC, HHCO, THCO, CBDA, CBC, CBG, CBN, and CBD), and non-hemp-derived psychedelic products. We are interested in acquiring rapidly growing, profitable companies that are also involved in manufacturing and selling branded products containing hemp-derived cannabinoids, and in acquiring companies that manufacture and sell branded products containing kratom, kava and non-hemp-derived psychedelic products (a “Canna-Infused Products Company”).

Management of the Company is open-minded to the concept of also acquiring operating businesses and/or assets involving products containing marijuana, distilled spirits, beer, wine, and real estate. In addition, management of the Company is open-minded to the concept of acquiring all or a portion of one or more operating businesses and/or assets that are considered to be “essential” businesses which are unlikely to be shut down by the government during pandemics such as COVID-19. From time to time, we engage in discussions with potential acquisition targets.

To date, we have acquired 100% of the ownership interests in one Canna-Infused Products Company called Lifted Liquids, Inc. d/b/a Lifted Made (formerly Warrender Enterprise Inc. d/b/a Lifted Liquids) (www.LiftedMade.com), Kenosha, Wisconsin (“Lifted Made” or “Lifted”).

On April 30, 2019, we also closed on the acquisition of 4.99% of the common stock of each of CBD-infused beverages maker Ablis Holding Company (“Ablis”) (www.AblisCBD.com), and of distilled spirits manufacturers Bendistillery Inc. (“Bendistillery”)and Bend Spirits, Inc. (“Bend Spirits”), all located in Bend, Oregon.

Prior to February 9, 2022, Lifted Made had a 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC, which sells tobacco-free nicotine pouches under the brand name FR3SH (www.GETFR3SH.com). On February 9, 2022, Lifted Made sold its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC to Corner Vapory LLC, an affiliate of NWarrender, CEO of Lifted, for $1, plus ninety-nine percent (99%) of any and all payments and other consideration received or owed to Corner Vapory LLC in regard to SmplyLifted’s existing inventory of FR3SH brand tobacco-free nicotine pouches. Lifted has the option to re-purchase the 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC from Corner Vapory LLC for $1,000 in cash at any time on or before December 31, 2032.

Termination of Letter of Intent relating to the proposed acquisition by the Company of Savage Enterprises, Premier Greens LLC and MKRC Holdings, LLC

On December 15, 2021, the Company, our Chairman and CEO Gerard M. Jacobs (“GJacobs”), our President and CFO William C. “Jake” Jacobs (“WJacobs”), and our Vice Chairman and COO Nicholas S. Warrender (“NWarrender”), Savage Enterprises, a Wyoming corporation (“Savage”), Premier Greens LLC, a California limited liability company (“Premier Greens”), MKRC Holdings, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“MKRC”), Christopher G. Wheeler (“Wheeler”), and Matt Winters (“Winters”), mutually stipulated to terminate the Letter of Intent dated June 15, 2021 that set out the Company’s possible acquisition of Savage, Premier Greens and MKRC.

Termination of Letter of Intent relating to the proposed acquisition by the Company of Fresh Farms E-Liquid, LLC

On December 16, 2021, the Company, Fresh Farms E-Liquid, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Fresh Farms”), Anthony J. Devincentis (“Devincentis”), Jakob M. Audino (“Audino”), Forrest F. Town (“Town”), John Z. Petti (“Petti”), GJacobs, NWarrender, WJacobs, Wheeler and Winters mutually stipulated to terminate the Letter of Intent dated September 1, 2021 that set out the Company’s possible acquisition of Fresh Farms.

$2,750,000 Promissory Note

On December 30, 2021, the Company repaid all principal and interest due under the $3.75M Promissory Note dated February 24, 2020 payable by the Company to NWarrender that was a portion of the Merger Consideration paid by the Company to NWarrender under the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the $3.75M Promissory Note, the unpaid balance of the note accrued interest at the rate of 2% per annum.

NWarrender kept $1,000,000 of the repayment of the $3.75M Promissory Note, plus accrued interest, and on January 3, 2022, reloaned $2,750,000 to LIFD and Lifted (collectively “Payors”) at the rate of 2.5% (the “$2,750,000 Promissory Note”). The $2,750,000 Promissory Note payable jointly by the Company and Lifted to NWarrender is secured by a perfected first lien security interest (the “Security Interest”) that encumbers all of the assets of the Company and Lifted. The Company is obligated to pay off the principal of the $2,750,000 Promissory Note in five semi-annual payments to NWarrender of $458,333 and a sixth and final semi-annual payment to NWarrender of $458,335, in each case plus accrued interest, starting on June 30, 2022.

If the Company is able to raise additional capital via borrowing or the sale of equity securities of the Company the Company will be obligated to prepay all remaining principal and all accrued interest on the $2,750,000 Promissory Note to NWarrender within two business days following the closing of any debt or equity capital raise by Payors following the date of the $2,750,000 Promissory Note in the amount of $8,000,000 or more.

Capital Raise

Cash on hand is currently limited, so in order to close future acquisitions, it likely will be necessary for us to raise substantial additional capital, and no guarantee or assurance can be made that such capital can be raised on acceptable terms, if at all.

With the assistance of an investment bank, we are currently exploring the possibility of raising $5 million or more through some combination of debt and equity offerings in order to pay off the remaining $2.75 million owed in connection with our acquisition of Lifted, to purchase for $1.375 million the building located at 5511 95^th Avenue, Kenosha, Wisconsin, that is currently being rented by Lifted, to pay off all other liabilities of the Company and Lifted including certain bonuses and our company-wide bonus pool, and to pay transactional fees and expenses. If we proceed forward with an equity raise, it may be in conjunction with a potential listing of our common stock on a Canadian stock exchange. However, there can be no guarantee or assurance that any such debt and/or equity capital raise or listing will be completed on acceptable terms, if at all.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidated Financial Statements – The consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in the annual report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and consist of only normal recurring adjustments, except as disclosed herein. As part of the consolidation, all significant intercompany transactions are eliminated, and on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, certain expenses are consolidated into the Other Operating Expenses category.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) typically requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. Key estimates in these financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets and the fair value of stock options and warrants.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 included cash on-hand. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date within 90 days to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost. The Company maintains its cash balance at a credit-worthy financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. Deposits with these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. 

Notes Receivable – Notes receivable are classified on the balance sheet based on their maturity date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The historical carrying amount of the financial instruments, which principally include cash, trade receivables, historical accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to the relative short maturity of such instruments.

F-6

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair-value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

SmplyLifted LLC, Ablis Holding Company, Bendistillery Inc. and Bend Spirits, Inc. are not publicly traded, and as such their financial instruments are Level 3 unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Accounts Receivable – The Company evaluates the collectability of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded (the “Allowance for Doubtful Accounts”), which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on the Company’s recent loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding. As of December 31, 2021, the Company implemented a new policy regarding allowances for doubtful accounts, which is that all accounts receivable older than 90 days at quarter end are accrued for in allowances for doubtful accounts. Allowances for doubtful accounts of $487,101 and $239,101 were recorded at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

As described in “Description of Certain Key Provisions of the Transaction Documents Relating to the Lifted Merger Agreement”, the $2,750,000 Promissory Note is secured by (a) a first lien security interest in all of the assets of the Company and Lifted; and (b) a pledge of: (i) all of the capital stock of Lifted; (ii) all of the common stock of Bendistillery, Bend Spirits and Ablis that is owned by the Company; and (iii) all of the capital stock of any other entity owned by the Company, Lifted or any of their subsidiaries, pursuant to a Collateral Stock Pledge Agreement between Mr. Warrender, as Secured Party, and the Company and Lifted, as Pledgors.

Inventory – Inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or market value (net realizable value). Inventory consisted of the following at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Raw Goods	$	4,364,744	$	2,927,727
Finished Goods	$	1,555,731	$	882,217
Total Inventory	$	5,920,475	$	3,809,944

Monthly overhead costs such as payments for rent, utilities, insurance, and indirect labor are allocated to finished goods based on the estimated percentage cost toward the finished goods. Depreciation expense related to certain machinery and equipment is also allocated to finished goods.

At March 31, 2022, $88,599 of overhead costs were allocated to finished goods. In comparison, During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, $16,472 of overhead costs were allocated to finished goods.

As described in “Description of Certain Key Provisions of the Transaction Documents Relating to the Lifted Merger Agreement”, the Promissory Note is secured by (a) a first lien security interest in all of the assets of the Company and Lifted; and (b) a pledge of: (i) all of the capital stock of Lifted; (ii) all of the common stock of Bendistillery, Bend Spirits and Ablis that is owned by the Company; and (iii) all of the capital stock of any other entity owned by the Company, Lifted or any of their subsidiaries, pursuant to a Collateral Stock Pledge Agreement between Mr. Warrender, as Secured Party, and the Company and Lifted, as Pledgors.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, $561,417 of obsolete and spoiled inventory was written off. In comparison, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, $38,561 of obsolete and spoiled inventory was written off.

F-7

The process of determining obsolete inventory during the quarter involved:

1)	Identifying raw goods that would no longer be used in the manufacture of finished goods;
2)	Identifying finished goods that would no longer be sold or that are slow moving; and
3)	Valuing and expensing raw and finished goods that would no longer be sold.

Fixed Assets– Fixed assets are recorded and stated at cost. Fixed assets that cost less than $2,500 are expensed, and fixed assets that cost $2,500 or more are capitalized. Depreciation of machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements, and computer equipment, is based on the asset’s estimated useful life and is calculated using the straight-line method. Normal repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that materially increase values or extend useful lives are capitalized. The related costs and accumulated depreciation of disposed assets are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss on disposition is included in net income.

Management regularly reviews property and equipment and other long-lived assets for possible impairment. This review occurs annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management then prepares an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. The fair value is estimated using the present value of the future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with management’s estimates of the business risks.

Preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on management’s best estimate of assumptions concerning expected future conditions. Long-lived assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Security Deposits – The Company had paid a security deposit to its lessor for the Company’s former office, manufacturing and warehouse space in Zion, IL, that was rented on a month-to-month basis from June 1, 2021 through November 2021. The security deposit was written off at December 31, 2021.

The Company has not paid a security deposit for its leased facility located at 5511 95^th Avenue, Kenosha, WI 53144 for the Company’s current office, manufacturing and warehouse space.

The Company has paid security deposits for its leased facilities located at 8920 58^th Place, Suite 850, Kenosha, WI 53144, and 8910 58^th Place, Suites 600 and 700, Kenosha, WI 53144.

State Licensing Deposits – The Company is required to pay deposits for certain licenses in various states.

Revenue – The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606.

The majority of the Company’s sales are of branded products goods to distributors, wholesalers, and end consumers. A minority of the Company’s sales are of raw goods to manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers. The majority of the Company’s sales are to distributors, followed by the Company’s sales to wholesalers, and then the Company’s sales to end consumers. Distributors primarily sell Lifted’s products to vape and smoke shops, stores specializing in cannabinoid-infused products, convenience stores, health food stores, and other outlets.

Typically, the Company’s revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products to a customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company’s products are either shipped or delivered based on the terms contained within the underlying contracts or agreements. If the shipping terms on a sale are FOB destination, the revenue is deferred until the product reaches its destination.

The Company excludes from revenues all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on the sale of its products and collected from customers.

Discounts and rebates are to customers are recorded as a reduction to gross sales.

Management believes that adequate provision has been made for cash discounts, returns and spoilage based on the Company’s historical experience.

F-8

Described below are some of the reasons why a customer may want to return an ordered item, and how the Company responds in each situation:

1)	The ordered item breaks, melts, or separates in transit to the customer. In this case, the Company will replace the broken, melted or separated item at no cost to the customer.
2)	The Company sent the wrong item to the customer. In this case, the Company will allow the customer to keep, at no cost to the customer, the item that was mistakenly sent to the customer. The Company will also send the correct product to the customer, at no cost to the customer.
3)	The customer ordered the wrong product. In this case, the customer, at his/her own expense, must mail the mistakenly ordered product back to the Company, and the Company will mail the correct product to the customer.
4)	The ordered item is recalled. In a situation where product is recalled, the Company will offer a replacement, credit, or refund.

Historically, the scenarios described above have occurred infrequently, and occurrences have been immaterial.

Disaggregation of Revenue

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, approximately 99.9% of the Company’s sales occurred inside of the United States of America. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, all of the Company’s sales occurred inside of the United States of America.

The Company has considered providing disaggregation of revenue by information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for evaluating the financial performance of operating segments, such as type of good, geographical region, market or type of customer, type of contract, contract duration, timing of transfer of goods, and sales channels. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of our industry, the Company is constantly launching new products to stay ahead of trends, finding new sales channels, initiating new distribution networks and modifying the prices of its products.

Shown below is a table showing the approximate disaggregation of historical revenue:

Type of Sale	For the three months ended March 31, 2021		% of Net Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021			For the three months ended March 31, 2022		% of Net Sales During the three months ended March 31, 2022
Net sales of raw materials to customers	$	10,696		0	%	$	5,382		0	%
Net sales of products to private label clients	$	758,140		23	%	$	84,142		0	%
Net sales of products to wholesalers	$	612,041		18	%	$	2,475,208		14	%
Net sales of products to distributors	$	1,728,794		52	%	$	13,389,283		74	%
Net sales of products to end consumers	$	243,598		7	%	$	2,134,863		12	%
Net Sales	$	3,353,270		100	%	$	18,088,877		100	%

Deferred Revenue

Amounts received from a customer before the purchased product is shipped to the customer is treated as deferred revenue. If cash is not received, an accounts receivable is recognized for invoiced orders, but revenue is not recognized until an order is fully shipped. Accounts receivable includes amounts associated with partially shipped orders, for which the unshipped portion is a contract asset. Contract assets represent invoiced but unfulfilled performance obligations.

The table shown below represents the composition of deferred revenue between contract assets (invoiced but unfulfilled performance obligations) and deposits from customers from unfulfilled orders as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Contract Assets (invoiced but unfulfilled performance obligations)	$	779,706	$	1,650,258
Deposits from customers for unfulfilled orders	$	100,000	$	524,135
Total Deferred Revenue	$	879,706	$	2,174,393

Cost of Goods Sold – Cost of goods sold consists of the costs of raw materials utilized in the manufacture of products, direct labor, co-packing fees, repacking fees, freight and shipping charges, warehouse expenses incurred prior to the manufacture of Lifted’s finished products and certain quality control costs. Finished goods that are sold account for the largest portion of cost of sales. Raw materials include ingredients, product components and packaging materials. $561,417 and $38,651 of cost of goods sold relates to spoiled and obsolete inventory written off during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Operating Expenses – Operating expenses include payroll, consulting and independent contractor expenses, the accrual for the company-wide management bonus pool, professional fees, bank charges and merchant fees, advertising and marketing, bad debt expense, and depreciation and amortization. Total operating expenses increased to $3,812,549 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, up from $985,254 during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Income Taxes – Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements and on tax carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred income tax assets when it is not more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.

F-9

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share – Basic earnings (loss) per common share is determined by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. When dilutive, the incremental potential common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants are determined by the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes the calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2022		2021
Net Income/(Loss)	$	2,944,793	$	618,359
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding:
Basic		14,017,578		7,456,925
Diluted		15,924,776		16,084,794
Basic Net Income (Loss) per Common Share	$	0.21	$	0.08
Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share	$	0.18	$	0.04

As of March 31, 2022, in addition to our outstanding common stock, we have issued (a) options to purchase 1,076,698 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share, (b) warrants to purchase 155,500 shares of common stock at $1 per share, (d) rights to purchase warrants to purchase 1,350,000 shares of common stock at $1.85 per share, and (e) warrants to purchase 2,295,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share.

Regarding the aforementioned rights to purchase warrants to purchase 1,350,000 shares of common stock at $1.85 per share: of these, rights to purchase warrants to purchase 1.25 million shares of our common stock are not vested and are not exercisable until a performance contingency is met.

Regarding the aforementioned warrants to purchase 2,295,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share: of the total, warrants to purchase 1,650,000 shares of our common stock are vested, while the remaining warrants to purchase 645,000 shares of our common stock are not vested and are subject to certain conditions and requirements.

At March 31, 2022, the Company had Series A Preferred Stock outstanding convertible into 575,000 shares of common stock; these are included in the diluted earnings calculation. At March 31, 2022, the Company had Series B Preferred Stock outstanding convertible into 40,000 shares of common stock; these are not included in the diluted earnings calculation because the exercise price ($5/share) was higher than the stock closing price at March 31, 2022 ($3.90/share).

In comparison, as of March 31, 2021, in addition to our outstanding common stock, there were outstanding (a) options to purchase 1,151,698 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share, (b) warrants to purchase 403,921 shares of common stock at $1 per share, (c) warrants to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock at $5 per share, (d) rights to purchase warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of common stock at between $0.01 and $1.85 per share, (e) financing warrants to purchase 31,250 shares of common stock at $0.03 per share, and (f) warrants to purchase 2,295,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share.

Regarding the aforementioned rights to purchase warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of common stock at between $0.01 and $1.85 per share outstanding at March 31, 2021: of these, rights to purchase warrants to purchase 1.25 million shares of our common stock are not vested and are not exercisable until a performance contingency is met.

Regarding the aforementioned warrants to purchase 2,295,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share outstanding at March 31, 2021: of the total, warrants to purchase 1,650,000 shares of our common stock are vested, while the remaining warrants to purchase 645,000 shares of our common stock are not vested and are subject to certain conditions and requirements.

Also outstanding at March 31, 2021, the Company had Series A Preferred Stock outstanding convertible into 3,325,000 shares of common stock; these are included in the diluted earnings calculation. At March 31, 2021, the Company also had Series B Preferred Stock outstanding convertible into 40,000 shares of common stock; these are also included in the diluted earnings calculation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326). ASC 326 adds to US GAAP the current expected credit loss model, a measurement model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this new guidance, an entity recognizes its estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. ASU 2016-13 and its amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, though early adoption is permitted. The Company believes the adoption will modify the way the Company analyzes financial instruments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

F-10

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, though early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements.

On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer, excluding smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The FASB noted that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company is researching what other pronouncements may be applicable to the Company’s accounting and whether or not any other pronouncements should be adopted.

Advertising and Marketing Expenses – Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred $105,601 in advertising and marketing expenses, which primarily related to trade shows, marketing, and promotional products. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred $52,027 in advertising and marketing expenses, which were primarily public relations, search engine optimization and trade show expenses.

Compensated Absences – During the year ended December 31, 2021, paid time off (“PTO”) was provided to employees who obtained approval for it from Nicholas S. Warrender, CEO of Lifted. Any approved PTO was granted at Mr. Warrender’s discretion, and mandatory PTO was zero days, thus no accrual was necessary at March 31, 2021. Effective January 1, 2022, certain PTO policies have been adopted by Lifted, and a PTO accrual of $16,541 was recognized at March 31, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements – The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Reclassifications – Some items from the prior period have been reclassified within the financial statements to conform with the current presentation.

NOTE 4 – RECEIPT OF LOANS UNDER THE ECONOMIC INJURY DISASTER LOAN PROGRAM AND THE PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM

Lifted also applied for and received a loan (the “PPP Loan”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted March 27, 2020. The PPP Loan was issued by BMO Harris Bank (the “Lender”) in the aggregate principal amount of $149,622.50 and evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”), dated April 14, 2020 issued by Lifted to the Lender. On April 20, 2021, the entire PPP Loan ($149,622) and the interest payable on the PPP Loan ($1,525) was forgiven by the SBA, and a related gain on forgiveness of debt in the amount of $151,147 was recorded. In accordance with its terms, the Note was originally scheduled to mature on April 14, 2022 and bore interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 14, 2020, following an initial deferral period as specified under the PPP. In addition, the Note could be prepaid by Lifted at any time prior to its original maturity with no prepayment penalties. Proceeds from the PPP Loan were available to Lifted to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs and other permitted expenses, in accordance with the PPP. Under the terms of the PPP, up to the entire amount of principal and accrued interest of the PPP Loan could be forgiven to the extent that at least 75% of the PPP Loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the SBA under the PPP. As of March 31, 2021, Lifted had an accrual of $1,443 for the interest on the PPP Loan. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, interest of $82 was accrued prior to the forgiveness of the Loan.

NOTE 5 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Going Concern – The Company has a history of recurring losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $8,475,539 as of March 31, 2022. Bankruptcy of the Company at some point in the future is a possibility. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management plans to sustain the Company as a going concern by taking the following actions: (1) acquiring and/or developing profitable businesses that will create positive income from operations; and/or (2) completing private placements of the Company’s common stock and/or preferred stock. Management believes that by taking these actions, the Company will be provided with sufficient future operations and cash flow to continue as a going concern. However, there can be no assurances or guarantees whatsoever that the Company will be successful in consummating such actions on acceptable terms, if at all. Moreover, any such actions can be expected to result in substantial dilution to the existing shareholders of the Company.

The Company’s investments in Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits made the Company a minority owner of these companies. As a minority owner, the Company is not able to recognize any portion of Ablis’, Bendistillery’s or Bend Spirits’ revenues or earnings in the Company’s financial statements. The Company monitors its investments in Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits, and from time to time and will evaluate whether there has been a potential impairment of value.

F-13

The COVID-19 pandemic and its ramifications, combined with the expenses and potential liabilities associated with litigation involving Lifted, combined with the regulatory risks and uncertainties associated with the cannabinoid-infused products, vaping and nicotine products industries, combined with the risks associated with internet hacking or sabotage, combined with the risks of employee and/or independent contractor disloyalty or theft of Company information and opportunities, have created significant adverse risks to the Company, which have caused substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Moreover, the Company’s balance sheet is weak. Among other financial obligations, the Company owes Nicholas S. Warrender $2,750,000 under the $2,750,000 Promissory Note, which is accruing interest at 2.5% per annum, and which was executed on January 3, 2022. The principal of the Promissory Note shall be paid off by Payors in five semi-annual payments to Nicholas S. Warrender of $458,333 and a sixth and final semi-annual payment to Nicholas S. Warrender of $458,335, in each case plus accrued interest, starting on June 30, 2022. Accrued interest of $16,575 on the $2,750,000 Promissory Note was recognized at March 31, 2022.

Under the Omnibus Agreement, Lifted is also obligated to purchase a building leased by Lifted from an affiliate of our Vice Chairman and COO Nicholas S. Warrender on or before December 31, 2022, for a fixed purchase price equal to $1,375,000. The Company is also accruing 3% annual dividends on its Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Also, on February 14, 2022, Nicholas S. Warrender, Gerard M. Jacobs and William C. Jacobs (together the “Parties”) and LFTD Partners, entered into an agreement (the “Amended Omnibus Agreement”) that amends in part the Agreement dated as of December 30, 2021 entered into by and among LFTD Partners Inc., the Parties, Lifted Liquids, Inc. d/b/a Lifted Made and 95th Holdings, LLC (the “Omnibus Agreement”). The Amended Omnibus Agreement (1) terminates the right for the Parties to receive bonus compensation in regard to 2021 that is in excess of the Modified 2021 Bonus Pool Amount of $1,556,055 set out in the Omnibus Agreement; (2) places a cap on the 2022 company-wide bonus pool such that the 2022 company-wide bonus pool shall not be allowed to be accrued or paid by LIFD if and to the extent that doing so would decrease LIFD’s 2022 diluted earnings per share of common stock below $0.56 per share; and (3) the $500,000 of additional bonus set out in the Omnibus Agreement, is now allocated and defined as a retention bonus of $166,667 to each of NWarrender, GJacobs and WJacobs to be paid at the end of 2022 so long as each respective executive has not earlier resigned from LFTD Partners.

Moreover, LFTD Partners agrees and covenants that the Chairman of the Compensation Committee is authorized to negotiate and agree on behalf of LFTD Partners in regard to a 2023 supplemental retention bonus for NWarrender, GJacobs and WJacobs (in addition to the company-wide Bonus Pool), and if and only if the amount of such 2023 supplemental retention bonus is mutually agreed upon in writing among the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, NWarrender, GJacobs and WJacobs, then one-third of such 2023 supplemental retention bonus shall be paid by LFTD Partners to each of NWarrender, GJacobs and WJacobs on or before March 15, 2024, provided that such officer shall not have earlier resigned as an officer of LFTD Partners.

Also, starting in 2022, Lifted for the first time has committed to spend a material amount of money on research and development on a potential new, non-hemp-derived psychedelic product. We anticipate that the cost of this research and development could potentially reach $100,000. There is no guarantee whether this research and development will be successful in generating a new psychedelic product that can be sold, or if it can be sold, that it will be successful.

In addition, factors that could materially affect future operating results include, but are not limited to, changes to laws and regulations, especially those related to hemp-derived delta-8-THC, delta-9-THC, delta-10-THC, THCV, HHC, HHCO, THCO, CBDA, CBC, CBG, CBN, CBD, other hemp-derived cannabinoids, nicotine products, kratom, psychedelic products, vaping, vendor concentration risk, customer concentration risk, customer credit risk, and counterparty risk. The Company maintains levels of cash in a bank deposit account that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such account and it believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

No assurance or guarantee whatsoever can be given that the net income of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Lifted will be sufficient to allow the Company to pay all of its operating expenses and the dividends accruing on the Company’s preferred stock. As a result, there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Bankruptcy of the Company at some point in the future is a possibility. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company currently has one revenue-generating subsidiary, Lifted. If and to the extent that the revenue generated by Lifted is not adequate to pay the Company’s operating expenses and the dividends accruing on its preferred stock, then Company management plans to sustain the Company as a going concern by taking the following actions: (1) acquiring and/or developing additional profitable businesses that will create positive income from operations; and/or (2) completing private placements of the Company’s common stock and/or preferred stock. Management believes that by taking these actions, the Company will be provided with sufficient future operations and cash flow to continue as a going concern. However, there can be no assurances or guarantees whatsoever that the Company will be successful in consummating such actions on acceptable terms, if at all. Moreover, any such actions can be expected to result in substantial dilution to the existing shareholders of the Company.

F-14

Concentration of Credit Risks – During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, five customers made up approximately 32% of Lifted Made’s sales. In comparison, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, there were no customers who made up more than 8% of Lifted Made’s sales.

Regarding the purchases of raw goods and finished goods (“Supplies”), during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, approximately 58% of the Supplies that Lifted purchased were from five vendors. In comparison, regarding the purchases of Supplies during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, approximately 53% of the purchased Supplies were from five vendors.

The loss of Lifted’s relationships with these vendors and customers could have a material adverse effect on Lifted’s business.

NOTE 6 – THE COMPANY’S INVESTMENTS

The Company’s Investments in Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits

On April 30, 2019, the Company purchased 4.99% of the common stock of each of Ablis Holding Company, Bendistillery Inc., and Bend Spirits, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $1,896,200.

Under US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses the cost method to account for our minority equity ownership interests in businesses in which the Company owns less than 20% of equity ownership, and have no substantial influence over the management of the businesses. Under the cost method of accounting, the Company reports the historical costs of the investments as assets on its balance sheet. However, US GAAP does not permit the consolidation of its financial statements with the financial statements of companies in which the Company owns minority equity ownership interests.

As such, the Company’s investments in Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits made the Company a minority owner of these companies. As a minority owner, the Company will not be able to recognize any portion of Ablis’, Bendistillery’s or Bend Spirits’ revenues or earnings in the Company’s financial statements. US GAAP also requires the Company to record these types of investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. As such, the Company will not be allowed to consolidate into its financial statements any portion of the revenues, earnings or assets of companies in which it owns minority equity ownership interests such as Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits. Moreover, even if there is evidence that the fair market values of the investments have increased above their historical costs, US GAAP does not allow increasing the recorded values of the investments. Under US GAAP, the only adjustments that may be made to the historical costs of the investments are write downs of the values of the investments, which must be made if there is evidence that the fair market values of the investments have declined to below the recorded historical costs.

At each reporting period, the Company makes a qualitative assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether its investments are impaired. Factors that the Company would consider indicators of impairment include: (1) a significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee, (2) a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee, (3) a significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographical area or the industry in which the investee operates, (4) a bona fide offer to purchase, an offer by the investee to sell, or a completed auction process for the same or similar investment for an amount less than the carrying amount of that investment, and (5) factors that raise significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as negative cash flows from operations, working capital deficiencies, or noncompliance with statutory capital requirements or debt covenants. Up to the date of this report on Form 10-Q, none of the above the above factors have been applicable to the Company’s investments.

The qualitative assessments at the end of quarters one, two and three are done via conference calls with the management teams of Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits. The qualitative assessment at the end of quarter four relating to these entities also includes review of their respective financial statements that have been reviewed by a third party accounting firm. At that time, the Company performs an annual impairment assessment. The reviewed financial statements of these companies are not audited, and the Company is not active in the management of these companies, and except for these companies’ quarterly meetings with the management of the Company, the Company’s assessment of these companies is inherently limited to infrequent and relatively brief conversations with officers of these companies and to reviews of those reviewed financial statements.

On April 27, 2022, a telephonic meeting of the board of directors of Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits was held. During this meeting, the management of those companies reviewed the performance of Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits during the quarter and ended March 31, 2022. Based upon the financial and non-financial information that was shared with LFTD Partners during that conference call, the management of LFTD Partners believes that no impairment of the value of Bendistillery, Bend Spirits or Ablis is warranted at this point in time. The information that was shared by the management of Ablis included, among other things: increased revenue of both Bendistillery and Bend Spirits from the first quarter of 2021 to the first quarter of 2022, markets opening up again from the pandemic, investments in equipment and a new on-site warehouse, Ablis’ hiring of a marketing firm, and the fact that managements of Bendistillery and Ablis are actively working with an investment bank to explore capital raising options and other strategic options.

The Company’s Investment in Lifted Made

Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the Company’s acquisitions is attributable to the value of the potential expanded market opportunity with new customers.

Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment testing unless circumstances dictate more frequent assessments. The Company performs an annual impairment assessment for goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by considering both the income approach and market approaches. The fair values calculated under the income approach and market approaches are weighted based on circumstances surrounding the reporting unit. Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit, which are discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. For the discount rate, the Company relies on the capital asset pricing model approach, which includes an assessment of the risk-free interest rate, the rate of return from publicly traded stocks, the Company’s risk relative to the overall market, the Company’s size and industry and other Company-specific risks. Other significant assumptions used in the income approach include the terminal value, growth rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approaches use key multiples from guideline businesses that are comparable and are traded on a public market. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as calculated in step one. In this step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation as if the reporting unit had been acquired on that date. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, strategic plans, and future market conditions, among others. There can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Changes in assumptions and estimates could cause the Company to perform an impairment test prior to scheduled annual impairment tests.

The Company performed its annual fair value assessments at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 on the goodwill recognized as part of the acquisition of Lifted, and determined that no impairment was necessary. The factors that led the Company to this conclusion include, among other things: continued growth in sales and profitability year-over-year, the launch of first-to-market, ground-breaking new products, the addition of more and more wholesalers and distributors nationwide, increased sales to wholesalers and end consumers, the continued growth of Lifted’s flagship brand Urb Finest Flowers, and continued positive publicity of Lifted. Lifted has also been limited in its production capacity due to the size of its facility in Zion, Illinois. With Lifted’s recent move into a much larger facility located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Lifted should be able to produce a greater quantity of products to meet demand.

The Company’s Investment in SmplyLifted LLC

On September 22, 2020, LFTD Partners Inc. and Lifted Made and privately-held SMPLSTC, Costa Mesa, CA (www.SMPLSTCBD.com) formed an equally-owned new entity called SmplyLifted LLC, which sold tobacco-free nicotine pouches in several flavors and nicotine strengths under the brand name FR3SH (www.GETFR3SH.com).

Lifted had a 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC. The other 50% of SmplyLifted is owned by SMPLSTC LLC and its principals, who are located in Costa Mesa, California. Under US GAAP, the Company used the equity method to account for its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recorded its share (50%) of SmplyLifted’s earnings (or losses) as income (or losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded its initial investment in SmplyLifted, which was $200,000, as an asset at historical cost. Under the equity method, the investment’s value was periodically adjusted to reflect the changes in value due to Lifted’s share in SmplyLifted’s income or losses.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a loss of $4,429 from its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted, and wrote down the value of its investment in SmplyLifted to $195,571. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a loss of $195,571 from its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted. At December 31, 2021, Lifted Made wrote off its receivables from SmplyLifted, and its loans to SmplyLifted, which totaled $388,727.

F-16

On February 9, 2022, Lifted Made signed an Agreement to sell its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC to Corner Vapory LLC, an affiliate of NWarrender, CEO of Lifted, for $1, plus ninety-nine percent (99%) of any and all payments and other consideration received or owed to Corner Vapory LLC in regard to SmplyLifted’s existing inventory of FR3SH brand tobacco-free nicotine pouches. Lifted has the option to re-purchase the 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC from Corner Vapory LLC for $1,000 in cash at any time on or before December 31, 2032.

CBD Lion LLC

On August 8, 2019, the Company made an unsecured $300,000 loan to Lion (the “Loan”) evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) in connection with the proposed Merger Agreement with Lion. Per the terms of the Note, if the Transaction did not close and the merger agreement were terminated, then the Loan was to be repaid by Lion to the Company in six equal monthly installments of principal, together with accrued interest at the rate of 6% per year, with the first such installment due and payable by Lion to the Company on the first day of the first calendar month following the termination of the merger agreement. The Merger Agreement was terminated by the Company on November 14, 2019 and the Note became payable. During December 2019, the principal of the Note was repaid by Lion down to $200,000, and Lion also paid the accrued interest on the Note of $6,945.

Due to termination of the Merger Agreement, and per Section 5.15(b) of the Merger Agreement, as of December 31, 2019 the Company owed CBD Lion $31,500 for reimbursement of professional fees related to the audit of CBD Lion.

This left Lion with a net balance owed to the Company of $168,500 as of December 31, 2019. On March 2, 2020, Lion and the Company agreed that the repayment of such $168,500 will be made in eleven equal monthly installments of principal due and payable by Lion to the Company on the first day of each calendar month starting on April 1, 2020, and that no additional interest will accrue. All such eleven payments have been made by Lion through February 1, 2021. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, The Company wrote off as bad debt interest of $2,006 that was receivable from the CBD Lion for the period January 1, 2020 through March 1, 2020. The Company calculated imputed interest receivable of $2,112 from CBD Lion for the period March 2, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

The William Noyes Webster Foundation, Inc.

The Foundation, a non-profit Massachusetts corporation, has received a provisional registration from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to own and operate a medical marijuana cultivation facility in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and a medical marijuana dispensary in Dennis, Massachusetts. Jane W. Heatley (“Heatley”) is the founder and a member of the board of directors of the Foundation.

Teaming Agreement – The Company believes it is highly likely that the board of directors of the Foundation will only approve contracts that have been negotiated and approved by Heatley. Consequently, on July 8, 2014, the Company entered into a Teaming Agreement (the “Teaming Agreement”) with Heatley, in which, among other things: (1) the Company and Heatley agreed to use their respective best efforts, working exclusively together as a team, and not as a partnership or other entity, in order to consummate transactions, agreements, contracts or other arrangements pursuant to which the Company will provide capital and expertise to the Foundation; and (2) Heatley agreed that Heatley shall not, and shall not permit the Foundation to, discuss or negotiate for debt or equity financing, or consulting services or other expertise, from any third party. The Company claims that Heatley violated the Teaming Agreement by discussing and negotiating for debt or equity financing, or consulting services or other expertise, from at least one third party. Heatley claims that the Company violated the Teaming Agreement alleging that the Company failed to lend funds to the Foundation in accordance with the Teaming Agreement. The Company believes Heatley’s claim to be baseless. No assurances whatsoever can be made that Heatley will comply with the terms of the Teaming Agreement, nor that the Company will be able to adequately enforce the terms of the Teaming Agreement if it is ever the subject of litigation.

Promissory Note – On July 14, 2014, the Foundation signed and delivered to the Company a Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) which is in the stated loan amount of $1,500,000, and is secured by a Security Agreement of even date therewith (the “Security Agreement”). The Note provides that the $1,500,000 loan may be advanced in one or more installments as the Foundation and the Company may mutually agree upon. The Foundation and the Company mutually agreed that the first installment of this loan would be $602,500. Pursuant to instructions from the Foundation, on July 14, 2014, the Company paid $2,500 owed by the Foundation to one of its consultants, and the Company advanced $600,000 directly to the Foundation. The amount and timing of subsequent loan installments under the Note, which could have totaled $897,500, had not yet been mutually agreed upon between the Foundation and the Company as of the date of the Note.

Between April and July 2015, the Company loaned an additional $135,350 to the Foundation, evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Agreement. Following such additional loans, the principal of the loan from the Company to the Foundation, evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Agreement, is now $737,850. The principal balance outstanding under the Note bore interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum, compounded monthly. It was contemplated that the first payment of accrued interest by the Foundation under the Note would be made as soon after the Foundation commences operations of the Plymouth Cultivation Facility and the Dennis Dispensary as the Foundation’s cash flows shall reasonably permit, but in any event no later than one year after the Foundation commences operations. The principal of the Note would be payable in eight consecutive equal quarterly installments, commencing on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Foundation commences operations. Principal on the Note and related accrued interest would be considered past due if the aforementioned payments were not received by their due dates.

Uncollectable Note and Interest Receivable – The Company assessed the collectability of the Note based on the adequacy of the Foundation’s collateral and the Foundation’s capability of repaying the Note according to its terms. Based on this assessment, on September 1, 2015, the Company concluded that Note and interest receivable would not be collectible. As such, the Company wrote off the Note totaling $737,850 and interest receivable totaling $97,427 as bad debt expense on September 1, 2015.

NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Shipping Costs

During 2020 and 2021, Lifted shared a shipping account with a company operated by Nicholas S. Warrender’s father, Robert T. Warrender II, who is also an employee of Lifted and a member of the board of directors of LFTD Partners Inc. Lifted did this in an effort to reduce shipping costs, as the shipper gave a price discount based on volume. Lifted reimbursed Robert T. Warrender II’s company for the cost of shipping. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, Lifted reimbursed Robert T. Warrender II’s company $41,902 in shipping costs. In 2022, Lifted no longer shared a shipping account with a company operated by Nicholas S. Warrender’s father, Robert T. Warrender II, so Lifted did not reimburse Robert T. Warrender II’s company for any shipping costs during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Robert T. Warrender II

95th Holdings, LLC

From June 1, 2021 through November 2021, Lifted leased such space on a month-to-month basis. From May 2020 until April 1, 2021, Lifted also temporarily used additional space located adjacent to its rented space in Zion, Illinois, and made payments in lieu of rent therefor.

Lifted’s rented space in Zion, Illinois, was not adequate in light of various issues including zoning uncertainties, lack of air conditioning, and small size. As such, on December 18, 2020, Lifted as tenant entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease) with 95^th Holdings, LLC (“Landlord”) for office, laboratory and warehouse space in a building located at 5511 95^th Avenue, in the City of Kenosha, State of Wisconsin (the “Premises”). The lease commencement date was January 1, 2021, and lease termination date is January 1, 2026.

The Lease will continue until midnight on the fifth anniversary date of the commencement date of the Lease. Lifted shall have the right to extend the original five year term of the Lease for one extension period of two years, commencing upon the expiration of the original term.

Under the terms of the lease, the tenant, Lifted, has the option to purchase the property at any time prior to December 31, 2025, and in any event, Lifted is obligated to purchase the property on or before that date. Pursuant to the Lease, in all cases Lifted’s purchase price for the Premises shall be in an amount equal to the greater of: (1) the fair market value of the Premises at the time Lifted purchases the Premises; or (2) any remaining principal balance of any purchase-money mortgage for the Premises existing at the time of the closing of Lifted’s purchase, plus the corresponding amount identified in the Additional Purchase Price Schedule attached as Exhibit B to the Lease, which is an additional amount ranging between $300,000 and $375,000 based on the number of years that have passed between the commencement of the Lease and the purchase of the Premises by Lifted.

Landlord is an entity owned by Nicholas S. Warrender, the Company’s Vice Chairman and COO, the CEO of Lifted, and the largest stockholder of the Company as beneficial owner of 3,900,455 common stock shares. Due to the potential conflict of interest, the terms and conditions of the Lease were negotiated on behalf of Lifted by Vincent J. Mesolella, the Lead Outside Director of the Company.

NOTE 12 – CONTINGENT CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS

Operating and Finance Lease Right-of-Use Assets – In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The amended guidance, which is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases with terms in excess of 12 months and currently classified as operating leases. Leases with an initial term of one year or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; lease expense for these types of leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Options to extend or terminate a lease are not included in the determination of the right-of-use asset or lease liability unless it is reasonably certain to be exercised. Lifted adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective approach, electing the package of practical expedients.

Lifted does not own any physical properties.

Lease of Building Located at 5511 95th Ave, Kenosha, Wisconsin

On December 18, 2020, Lifted as tenant entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease) with 95th Holdings, LLC (“Landlord”) for office, laboratory and warehouse space in a building located at 5511 95^th Avenue, in the City of Kenosha, State of Wisconsin (the “Premises”). The lease commencement date was January 1, 2021, and lease termination date is January 1, 2026. 

Landlord is an entity owned directly or indirectly by NWarrender, the Company’s Vice Chairman and COO, the CEO of Lifted, and the largest stockholder of the Company as the beneficial owner of 3,900,455 shares of common stock of the Company. Due to the potential conflict of interest, the terms and conditions of the Lease were negotiated on behalf of Lifted by Vincent J. Mesolella, the Lead Outside Director of the Company. Landlord and Lifted were represented by their own independent legal counsel in connection with the Lease. Under the terms of the Lease, NWarrender is able to benefit through his ownership of Landlord by Landlord’s receiving rent and eventually selling the Premises to Lifted.

Lifted constructed improvements to the Premises including a clean room, and gradually moved into the Premises over the course of the first quarter of 2021.

F-24

Under the terms of the “triple-net” Lease, starting on January 1, 2021, Lifted leased approximately 11,238 square feet at the Premises at $6.13 per square foot per year in base rent ($68,888.94 in 2021), which is subject to a 2% increase in base rent each year, plus certain operating expenses and taxes. The Lease will continue until midnight on the fifth anniversary date of the commencement date of the Lease. Lifted shall have the right to extend the original five year term of the Lease for one extension period of two years, commencing upon the expiration of the original term. Lifted and Landlord are required to execute an “Amendment of Extension” prior to six months before the expiration of the original term.

Under the terms of the Omnibus Agreement, Lifted is obligated to purchase the Premises from Landlord on or before December 31, 2022 for a fixed purchase price of $1,375,000. As a result, as of December 31, 2021, the Company modified its methodology for accounting of this finance lease (the “Modification Date”), such that the only liability recognized as of December 31, 2021 was a current (within one year) liability, and there was no long-term liability recognized. An immaterial loss on lease modification of $1,446 was also recognized as of the Modification Date.

Lifted Liquids, Inc. v. Girish GPO, Inc., Girish Ray, and the Law Offices of Saul Roffe – The Company has filed an action in a case styled “Lifted Liquids, Inc. v. Girish GPO, Inc., Girish Ray, and the Law Offices of Saul Roffe” seeking to recover $30,000 that was to be held in escrow. The Company is also requesting approximately $14,569 in damages resulting from Girish GPO’s failure to pay for product it ordered and that the Company delivered.

(1) Martha, Edgar v. Lifted Liquids – Edgar Martha, who worked as an independent contractor in Lifted’s production facility, has sued Lifted in regard to an alleged chemical burn. Mr. Martha has expressed to Lifted’s attorney that Mr. Martha is inclined to settle the case for $5,000.

NOTE 14 – COMPANY-WIDE MANAGEMENT BONUS POOL

Pursuant to the employment agreements entered into between the Company and its three principal executives Gerard M. Jacobs, William C. “Jake” Jacobs, and Nicholas S. Warrender (individually, “Executive”), the Company is obligated to compensate management of the Company via a management bonus pool.

For each fiscal year during the Employment Term, the Executive shall be eligible to be considered for an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) as part of a Company-wide management bonus pool arrangement. During the fourth quarter of each year, the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) shall recommend in writing a consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) target (each, a “Target”) for the following year (the “Target Year”), which Target must be approved in writing by each of the following for as long as he remains employed by the Company: Gerard M. Jacobs, William C. Jacobs, and Nicholas S. Warrender (collectively, and with respect to each for only as long as he is an employee of the Company, the “Executive Management Group”). If the Chairman of the Compensation Committee does not recommend in writing a Target for a Target Year that is approved in writing by all of the members of the Executive Management Group prior to the commencement of the Target Year, then the Target for the Target Year shall be equal to the actual consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries during the then-current year (i.e., the year preceding the Target Year) as certified in writing by the Company’s outside firm of independent certified public accountants. If the actual consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries during the Target Year as certified in writing by the Company’s outside firm of independent certified public accountants exceeds the Target (the amount by which the actual consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries during the Target Year as certified in writing by the Company’s outside firm of independent certified public accountants exceeds the Target, the “Excess Amount”), then cash equal to 33% of the Excess Amount shall be set aside by the Company as a cash management bonus pool (the “Bonus Pool”), and the amount of the Bonus Pool shall be allocated and paid out by the Company as bonuses or fees to the officers of the Company and its subsidiaries (and potentially, to directors or third parties who have significantly helped the Company and its subsidiaries during the Target Year), with the amount to be paid to each payee, including the amount of any Annual Bonus to be paid to the Executive, to be determined by unanimous written agreement of the Executive Management Group, in their sole discretion. The Executive expressly agrees and acknowledges that the amount of the Annual Bonus (if any) allocated and paid to the Executive as so determined by unanimous written agreement of the Executive Management Group shall be final, non-appealable, and binding upon the Executive, regardless of whether the Executive receives any Annual Bonus, and regardless of whether any Annual Bonus received by the Executive is higher or lower than any other person’s bonus, under any and all circumstances whatsoever. The Company shall pay the Executive the Annual Bonus, if any, no later than March 15th of the year following the applicable Target Year.) In the event that there is funding for the Bonus Pool but the Executive Management Group does not reach a unanimous decision on Bonus allocations, then no annual bonus shall be paid. The Annual Bonus Pool would then be placed in escrow and the Executive Management Group would mediate.

F-28

The company-wide Bonus Pool for 2021 was $1,559,334 (the “Modified 2021 Bonus Pool Amount”), which was the aggregate amount that was accrued for in LIFD’s financial statements covering the period from January 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021. The Modified 2021 Bonus Pool Amount was distributed during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Pursuant to the Amended Omnibus Agreement, the 2022 company-wide bonus pool shall not be allowed to be accrued or paid by LIFD if and to the extent that doing so would decrease LIFD’s 2022 diluted earnings per share of common stock below $0.56 per share. As of March 31, 2022, the Company reported a company-wide bonus pool accrual of $969,370. In comparison, as of December 31, 2021, the Company reported a company-wide bonus pool accrual of $1,556,055.

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, broadened the corporate tax base through the elimination or reduction of deductions, exclusions, and credits, limited the ability of U.S. corporations to deduct interest expense, and transitioned to a territorial tax system which allows for the repatriation of foreign earnings to the U.S. with a 100% federal dividends received deduction prospectively. In addition, the Tax Act required a one-time transitional tax on foreign cash equivalents and previously unremitted earnings. Several of the new provisions enacted as part of the Tax Act require clarification and guidance from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and Treasury Department. These or other changes in U.S. tax laws could impact our profits, effective tax rate, and cash flows.

Significant components on the Company’s income tax provision (benefit) for continuing operations is as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2022		2021
Current
Domestic-Federal	$	582,618	$	-

F-29

The Company currently believes that all significant filing positions are highly certain and that all of its significant income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained upon audit. Therefore, the Company has no significant reserves for uncertain tax positions and no adjustments to such reserves were required by generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination for the years ended December 31, 2016 through 2021. A reconciliation of the amount of tax provision (benefit) computed using the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the provision (benefit) for income taxes on continuing operations is as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended

As used in this Form 10-Q, references to the “Company,” “LFTD Partners,” “LIFD,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to LFTD Partners Inc. and Lifted, unless the context otherwise indicates.

You should read this MD&A in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this report.

The Company has a history of losses as evidenced by the accumulated deficit at March 31, 2022 of $8,475,539. We plan to sustain the Company as a going concern by taking the following actions: (1) continuing to operate Lifted; (2) acquiring and/or developing profitable businesses that will create positive income from operations; and/or (3) completing private placements of our common stock and/or preferred stock. We believe that by taking these actions, we will be provided with sufficient future operations and cash flow to continue as a going concern. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in consummating such actions on acceptable terms, if at all. Moreover, many of such actions can be expected to result in substantial dilution to the existing shareholders of the Company.

Acquisition of Real Estate in Rhode Island

As discussed in our prior public filings, we have attempted to acquire one or more of the Mesolella/Jacobs Properties. The Mesolella/Jacobs Properties are parcels of real estate in Rhode Island that are owned by entities affiliated with Vincent J. Mesolella and his son Derek V. Mesolella, formerly an independent contractor to LFTD Partners. One of the Mesolella/Jacobs Properties was also partly owned by an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer, Gerard M. Jacobs.

Discussions among Messrs. Mesolella and Jacobs and our independent directors have made it highly likely that we will never purchase any of the Mesolella/Jacobs Properties.

Simultaneous with Vincent J. Mesolella’s agreement to negotiate in good faith regarding the possibility of us acquiring the Mesolella/Jacobs Properties, in November 2014, the officers and directors of the Company were awarded the right to purchase, directly or using a designee, for an aggregate price of $2 per director: (a) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.35 million shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share; and (b) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.35 million shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.85 per share, 100,000 of which warrants are vested, and 1.25 million of which warrants are subject to the condition that the Company shall have acquired at least one of the Mesolella/Jacobs Properties.

Tax Provision

Please refer to “NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES” for more information about the Company’s quarterly tax provision.

Other Matters

We may be subject to other legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business in addition to the matters discussed above in “NOTE 13 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS”. We intend to vigorously pursue and defend such litigation. Although the outcome of these other matters is currently not determinable, our management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant economic disruption despite progress made in recent months in the development and distribution of vaccines. It has already disrupted Lifted’s operations, global travel and supply chains, and adversely impacted global commercial activity. Considerable uncertainty still surrounds COVID-19, the evolution and future impact of its variants, its potential long-term economic effects, as well as the effectiveness of any responses taken by government authorities and businesses and of various efforts to inoculate the global population. The travel restrictions, limits on hours of operations and/or closures of non-essential businesses, and other efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 have significantly disrupted business activity globally and there is uncertainty as to if and when these disruptions will fully subside.

Significant uncertainty continues to exist concerning the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Lifted’s, our customers’ and target companies’ business and operations in future periods. Although our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were not materially impacted by COVID-19, we believe our revenues may be negatively impacted in future periods until the effects of the pandemic have fully subsided and the current macroeconomic environment has substantially recovered. The uncertainty related to COVID-19 may also result in increased volatility in the financial projections we use as the basis for estimates and assumptions used in our financial statements. We have made some efforts to try to adapt our operations to meet the challenges of this uncertain and rapidly evolving situation, including expanding operations in areas where we perceive government restrictions on business operations are relatively less burdensome, and focusing some of our new product development in areas where we perceive government restrictions and prohibitions on hemp-derived cannabinoid products are relatively less likely. The COVID-19 pandemic and its ramifications, including Illinois Governor Pritzker’s Executive Order in response to the pandemic, materially damaged Lifted’s business, among other things by disrupting Lifted’s access to its employees, suppliers, packaging, distributors and customers. That is why Lifted applied for and received funding under the federal Economic Injury Disaster Loan program and the federal Paycheck Protection Program.

7

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that may negatively impact our business in future periods include, but are not limited to: disruptions of Lifted’s workforce; limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct their business, purchase our products, and make timely payments; curtailed consumer spending; deferred purchasing decisions; supply chain problems and delays, and changes in demand from retail customers. We will continue to actively monitor the nature and extent of the impact to our business, operating results, and financial condition.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Financial Officer, WJacobs, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, WJacobs concluded that because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022.

(b) Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. “Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a -15(f) and 15d - 5(f) as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, an issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by an issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. It includes those policies and procedures that:

(1)	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of an issuer;
(2)	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
(3)	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material adverse effect on the financial statements.

During March 2022, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022 based on the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022 was not effective. Management identified the following material weaknesses as of March 31, 2022:

(1) There existed a lack of segregation of duties in regard to the Company’s financial reporting, procedures for depositing of funds, procedures for cash disbursements, procedures for checkbook entries, period close procedures, and procedures for financial statement preparation.

8

Management has determined that the Company should seek to enhance its internal controls over financial reporting by maintaining the following steps first commenced in 2010:

(1) During November 2010, the Company increased its Board of Directors to six members by adding another independent member, Vincent J. Mesolella. Mr. Mesolella is the Chairman of the Narragansett Bay Commission, Providence, Rhode Island. Mr. Mesolella is also the Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of MVJ Realty, LLC, a real estate development company. Mr. Mesolella has previously served as the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of a publicly traded company.

Beginning in March 2010, the Company began emailing or mailing to Vincent J. Mesolella a copy of each monthly statement from its bank summarizing all activity in the Company’s checking account, for review and questioning as appropriate. The purpose of Mr. Mesolella’s involvement is to provide monitoring, oversight and assistance to GJacobs, Chief Executive Officer, in the preparation and reporting of the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2021, the Company engaged a third party consulting firm that specializes in the implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to assist management with the implementation of internal controls and procedures pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This implementation is progressing, but it has not yet been completed, and additional work is required. This implementation is imposing and will, on an on-going basis, impose substantial costs on the Company.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Management is unaware of any material inaccuracies or errors in the Company’s financial statements as of March 31, 2022.

(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company is also requesting approximately $14,569 in damages resulting from Girish GPO’s failure to pay for product it ordered and that the Company delivered.

Lifted currently is involved in one pending lawsuit, as the defendant:

(1) Martha, Edgar v. Lifted Liquids – Edgar Martha, who worked as an independent contractor in Lifted’s production facility, has sued Lifted in regard to an alleged chemical burn. Mr. Martha has expressed to Lifted’s attorney that Mr. Martha is inclined to settle the case for $5,000. However, there can be no assurance or guarantee that the case can be settled for $5,000, as the medical bills in the case are significant and Mr. Martha’s medical insurance carrier has refused coverage.

On February 1, 2022, Lifted entered into a settlement agreement that was mutually acceptable to the parties which has resolved the following lawsuit: 

(1) Lifted Liquids, Inc. v. Monkey Bones Distribution LLC (United States Circuit Court for Kenosha County of the State of Wisconsin; Civil Case No. 2021 CV 001196).

In February 2022, the parties settled the litigation and agreed to mutual releases and dismissal of the lawsuit in exchange for $36,100.28 paid by Monkey Bones to Lifted Liquids and 15,000 custom gray scale empty disposable devices delivered to Monkey Bones by Lifted Liquids. The parties performed the settlement agreement and the matter was dismissed on February 3, 2022.

We claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the sales and issuances of securities in the following transactions under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulations D and S promulgated thereunder, in that such sales and issuances (i) did not involve a public offering, or (ii) were made to non-U.S. Persons and otherwise complied with Rule 903 promulgated under the Securities Act, or (iii) were made pursuant to Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, in that they were offered and sold either pursuant to written compensatory plans or pursuant to a written contract relating to compensation, as provided by Rule 701. All of the purchasers of unregistered securities for which we relied on Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D represented that they were accredited investors as defined under the Securities Act. We claimed such exemption on the basis that (a) the purchasers in each case represented that they intended to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to the distribution thereof and that they either received adequate information about the registrant or had access, through employment or other relationships, to such information and (b) appropriate legends were affixed to the stock certificates issued in such transactions.

LFTD Partners Inc. Reports QoQ Revenue Up 41%, Net Income Up 118%, and Diluted EPS up 125% During Q1 2022

JACKSONVILLE, FL, May 12, 2022 (Accesswire) – LFTD Partners Inc. (“LFTD Partners” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LIFD), the corporate parent of leading cannabis and psychedelics-lifestyle and consumer packaged goods manufacturer Lifted Made, today announced record quarterly revenue, net income, and diluted earnings per share for Q1 2022.

Financial Highlights – Q1 2022 compared to Q4 2021

· Revenue up 41% to $18,088,877, up from $12,787,566 in Q4 2021

· Net income up 118% to $2,944,793, up from $1,349,292 in Q4 2021

· Basic earnings per share up 110% to $0.21 per share, up from basic earnings per share of $0.10 in Q4 2021

· Diluted earnings per share up 125% to $0.18 per share, up from diluted earnings per share of $0.08 in Q4 2021

 

Financial Highlights – Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2021

· Revenue up 439% to $18,088,877, up from $3,353,270 in Q1 2021

· Net income up 376% to $2,944,793, up from $618,359 in Q1 2021

· Basic earnings per share up 163% to $0.21 per share, up from basic earnings per share of $0.08 in Q1 2021

· Diluted earnings per share up 350% to $0.18 per share, up from diluted earnings per share of $0.04 in Q1 2021

 

Q1 2022 is LFTD Partners’ seventh consecutive quarter of positive GAAP-basis earnings per share.

During Q1 2022, sales of products under Lifted Made’s hemp-derived products brand Urb Finest Flowers made up 96% of Lifted Made’s sales; sales of products under Lifted Made’s non-hemp-derived psychedelics products brand Silly Shruum made up the other 4% of Lifted Made’s sales.

1

Nicholas S. Warrender, Vice Chairman and COO of LFTD Partners, and founder and CEO of Lifted Made, said, “Our tremendous quarter-over-quarter growth in revenue and profitability during Q1 2022 reflects Lifted Made’s talented team and diversified product portfolio, including our award-winning brand of hemp-derived cannabinoid products Urb Finest Flowers and our psychedelics brand Silly Shruum which successfully launched in January. We are well on our way toward achieving our 2022 revenue goal of $75 million or more.”

William C. “Jake” Jacobs, CPA, President and CFO of LFTD Partners, said: “Our balance sheet is continuing to strengthen, driven by our healthy EBITDA margin, which was 23% in Q1 2022. For example, despite recently paying down millions of dollars in debts and taxes, and building up millions of dollars worth of inventory, our cash on hand currently exceeds $3.4 million. Nevertheless, Lifted Made’s runaway sales growth has made it very difficult to keep enough raw materials, packaging and finished inventory in stock. Consequently, LFTD Partners is continuing to explore the possibility of raising $10-$15 million in the form of debt that would be used to pay off our remaining $2.75 million note payable to Nick Warrender, to purchase Lifted Made’s headquarters building in Kenosha for $1.375 million, and to add millions of dollars to Lifted Made’s working capital so that its sales are less likely to be held back by a lack of raw materials and finished inventory as has happened often during the past two years.”

(OTCQB: LIFD) is focused upon acquiring rapidly growing and profitable companies that sell branded hemp-derived cannabinoid products, emerging psychedelic products, and other alternative lifestyle products.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS OF LFTD PARTNERS INC.

Description Of The Business Of Lftd Partners Inc.

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS OF LFTD PARTNERS INC.

Description of the Business of LFTD Partners Inc. – LFTD Partners Inc. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “LFTD Partners”, the “Company”, “LIFD”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, etc.) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 2, 1986. Shares of the Company’s common stock are traded on the OTCQB Venture Market under the trading symbol LIFD.

On May 18, 2021, the Company amended its articles of incorporation with the State of Nevada to change its name to LFTD Partners Inc. from Acquired Sales Corp. In connection with the name change to LFTD Partners Inc., the Company filed a required notification with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), a self-regulatory organization that is involved with the coordination of the clearing, settling and processing of transactions in equity securities, including our common stock. The Company’s name change notification to FINRA included a request for a new stock trading symbol, LSFP, from AQSP, which was granted. On March 15, 2022, the Company changed its stock trading symbol to LIFD.

After acquiring, operating and then selling businesses involved in the defense sector, our business is currently involved in developing, manufacturing and selling a wide variety of branded products containing hemp-derived cannabinoids (e.g. delta-8-THC, delta-9-THC, delta-10-THC, THCV, HHC, HHCO, THCO, CBDA, CBC, CBG, CBN, and CBD), and non-hemp-derived psychedelic products. We are interested in acquiring rapidly growing, profitable companies that are also involved in manufacturing and selling branded products containing hemp-derived cannabinoids, and in acquiring companies that manufacture and sell branded products containing kratom, kava and non-hemp-derived psychedelic products (a “Canna-Infused Products Company”).

Management of the Company is open-minded to the concept of also acquiring operating businesses and/or assets involving products containing marijuana, distilled spirits, beer, wine, and real estate. In addition, management of the Company is open-minded to the concept of acquiring all or a portion of one or more operating businesses and/or assets that are considered to be “essential” businesses which are unlikely to be shut down by the government during pandemics such as COVID-19. From time to time, we engage in discussions with potential acquisition targets.

To date, we have acquired 100% of the ownership interests in one Canna-Infused Products Company called Lifted Liquids, Inc. d/b/a Lifted Made (formerly Warrender Enterprise Inc. d/b/a Lifted Liquids) (www.LiftedMade.com), Kenosha, Wisconsin (“Lifted Made” or “Lifted”).

On April 30, 2019, we also closed on the acquisition of 4.99% of the common stock of each of CBD-infused beverages maker Ablis Holding Company (“Ablis”) (www.AblisCBD.com), and of distilled spirits manufacturers Bendistillery Inc. (“Bendistillery”)and Bend Spirits, Inc. (“Bend Spirits”), all located in Bend, Oregon.

Prior to February 9, 2022, Lifted Made had a 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC, which sells tobacco-free nicotine pouches under the brand name FR3SH (www.GETFR3SH.com). On February 9, 2022, Lifted Made sold its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC to Corner Vapory LLC, an affiliate of NWarrender, CEO of Lifted, for $1, plus ninety-nine percent (99%) of any and all payments and other consideration received or owed to Corner Vapory LLC in regard to SmplyLifted’s existing inventory of FR3SH brand tobacco-free nicotine pouches. Lifted has the option to re-purchase the 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC from Corner Vapory LLC for $1,000 in cash at any time on or before December 31, 2032.

Termination of Letter of Intent relating to the proposed acquisition by the Company of Savage Enterprises, Premier Greens LLC and MKRC Holdings, LLC

On December 15, 2021, the Company, our Chairman and CEO Gerard M. Jacobs (“GJacobs”), our President and CFO William C. “Jake” Jacobs (“WJacobs”), and our Vice Chairman and COO Nicholas S. Warrender (“NWarrender”), Savage Enterprises, a Wyoming corporation (“Savage”), Premier Greens LLC, a California limited liability company (“Premier Greens”), MKRC Holdings, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“MKRC”), Christopher G. Wheeler (“Wheeler”), and Matt Winters (“Winters”), mutually stipulated to terminate the Letter of Intent dated June 15, 2021 that set out the Company’s possible acquisition of Savage, Premier Greens and MKRC.

Termination of Letter of Intent relating to the proposed acquisition by the Company of Fresh Farms E-Liquid, LLC

On December 16, 2021, the Company, Fresh Farms E-Liquid, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Fresh Farms”), Anthony J. Devincentis (“Devincentis”), Jakob M. Audino (“Audino”), Forrest F. Town (“Town”), John Z. Petti (“Petti”), GJacobs, NWarrender, WJacobs, Wheeler and Winters mutually stipulated to terminate the Letter of Intent dated September 1, 2021 that set out the Company’s possible acquisition of Fresh Farms.

$2,750,000 Promissory Note

On December 30, 2021, the Company repaid all principal and interest due under the $3.75M Promissory Note dated February 24, 2020 payable by the Company to NWarrender that was a portion of the Merger Consideration paid by the Company to NWarrender under the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the $3.75M Promissory Note, the unpaid balance of the note accrued interest at the rate of 2% per annum.

NWarrender kept $1,000,000 of the repayment of the $3.75M Promissory Note, plus accrued interest, and on January 3, 2022, reloaned $2,750,000 to LIFD and Lifted (collectively “Payors”) at the rate of 2.5% (the “$2,750,000 Promissory Note”). The $2,750,000 Promissory Note payable jointly by the Company and Lifted to NWarrender is secured by a perfected first lien security interest (the “Security Interest”) that encumbers all of the assets of the Company and Lifted. The Company is obligated to pay off the principal of the $2,750,000 Promissory Note in five semi-annual payments to NWarrender of $458,333 and a sixth and final semi-annual payment to NWarrender of $458,335, in each case plus accrued interest, starting on June 30, 2022.

If the Company is able to raise additional capital via borrowing or the sale of equity securities of the Company the Company will be obligated to prepay all remaining principal and all accrued interest on the $2,750,000 Promissory Note to NWarrender within two business days following the closing of any debt or equity capital raise by Payors following the date of the $2,750,000 Promissory Note in the amount of $8,000,000 or more.

Capital Raise

Cash on hand is currently limited, so in order to close future acquisitions, it likely will be necessary for us to raise substantial additional capital, and no guarantee or assurance can be made that such capital can be raised on acceptable terms, if at all.

With the assistance of an investment bank, we are currently exploring the possibility of raising $5 million or more through some combination of debt and equity offerings in order to pay off the remaining $2.75 million owed in connection with our acquisition of Lifted, to purchase for $1.375 million the building located at 5511 95^th Avenue, Kenosha, Wisconsin, that is currently being rented by Lifted, to pay off all other liabilities of the Company and Lifted including certain bonuses and our company-wide bonus pool, and to pay transactional fees and expenses. If we proceed forward with an equity raise, it may be in conjunction with a potential listing of our common stock on a Canadian stock exchange. However, there can be no guarantee or assurance that any such debt and/or equity capital raise or listing will be completed on acceptable terms, if at all.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2022

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis Of Presentation And Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidated Financial Statements – The consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in the annual report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and consist of only normal recurring adjustments, except as disclosed herein. As part of the consolidation, all significant intercompany transactions are eliminated, and on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, certain expenses are consolidated into the Other Operating Expenses category.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) typically requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. Key estimates in these financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets and the fair value of stock options and warrants.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 included cash on-hand. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date within 90 days to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost. The Company maintains its cash balance at a credit-worthy financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. Deposits with these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. 

Notes Receivable – Notes receivable are classified on the balance sheet based on their maturity date.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The historical carrying amount of the financial instruments, which principally include cash, trade receivables, historical accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to the relative short maturity of such instruments.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair-value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

SmplyLifted LLC, Ablis Holding Company, Bendistillery Inc. and Bend Spirits, Inc. are not publicly traded, and as such their financial instruments are Level 3 unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Accounts Receivable – The Company evaluates the collectability of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded (the “Allowance for Doubtful Accounts”), which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on the Company’s recent loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding. As of December 31, 2021, the Company implemented a new policy regarding allowances for doubtful accounts, which is that all accounts receivable older than 90 days at quarter end are accrued for in allowances for doubtful accounts. Allowances for doubtful accounts of $487,101 and $239,101 were recorded at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

As described in “Description of Certain Key Provisions of the Transaction Documents Relating to the Lifted Merger Agreement”, the $2,750,000 Promissory Note is secured by (a) a first lien security interest in all of the assets of the Company and Lifted; and (b) a pledge of: (i) all of the capital stock of Lifted; (ii) all of the common stock of Bendistillery, Bend Spirits and Ablis that is owned by the Company; and (iii) all of the capital stock of any other entity owned by the Company, Lifted or any of their subsidiaries, pursuant to a Collateral Stock Pledge Agreement between Mr. Warrender, as Secured Party, and the Company and Lifted, as Pledgors.

Inventory – Inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or market value (net realizable value). Inventory consisted of the following at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Raw Goods	$	4,364,744	$	2,927,727
Finished Goods	$	1,555,731	$	882,217
Total Inventory	$	5,920,475	$	3,809,944

Monthly overhead costs such as payments for rent, utilities, insurance, and indirect labor are allocated to finished goods based on the estimated percentage cost toward the finished goods. Depreciation expense related to certain machinery and equipment is also allocated to finished goods.

At March 31, 2022, $88,599 of overhead costs were allocated to finished goods. In comparison, During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, $16,472 of overhead costs were allocated to finished goods.

As described in “Description of Certain Key Provisions of the Transaction Documents Relating to the Lifted Merger Agreement”, the Promissory Note is secured by (a) a first lien security interest in all of the assets of the Company and Lifted; and (b) a pledge of: (i) all of the capital stock of Lifted; (ii) all of the common stock of Bendistillery, Bend Spirits and Ablis that is owned by the Company; and (iii) all of the capital stock of any other entity owned by the Company, Lifted or any of their subsidiaries, pursuant to a Collateral Stock Pledge Agreement between Mr. Warrender, as Secured Party, and the Company and Lifted, as Pledgors.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, $561,417 of obsolete and spoiled inventory was written off. In comparison, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, $38,561 of obsolete and spoiled inventory was written off.

The process of determining obsolete inventory during the quarter involved:

1)	Identifying raw goods that would no longer be used in the manufacture of finished goods;
2)	Identifying finished goods that would no longer be sold or that are slow moving; and
3)	Valuing and expensing raw and finished goods that would no longer be sold.

Fixed Assets– Fixed assets are recorded and stated at cost. Fixed assets that cost less than $2,500 are expensed, and fixed assets that cost $2,500 or more are capitalized. Depreciation of machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements, and computer equipment, is based on the asset’s estimated useful life and is calculated using the straight-line method. Normal repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that materially increase values or extend useful lives are capitalized. The related costs and accumulated depreciation of disposed assets are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss on disposition is included in net income.

Management regularly reviews property and equipment and other long-lived assets for possible impairment. This review occurs annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management then prepares an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. The fair value is estimated using the present value of the future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with management’s estimates of the business risks.

Preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on management’s best estimate of assumptions concerning expected future conditions. Long-lived assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Security Deposits – The Company had paid a security deposit to its lessor for the Company’s former office, manufacturing and warehouse space in Zion, IL, that was rented on a month-to-month basis from June 1, 2021 through November 2021. The security deposit was written off at December 31, 2021.

The Company has not paid a security deposit for its leased facility located at 5511 95^th Avenue, Kenosha, WI 53144 for the Company’s current office, manufacturing and warehouse space.

The Company has paid security deposits for its leased facilities located at 8920 58^th Place, Suite 850, Kenosha, WI 53144, and 8910 58^th Place, Suites 600 and 700, Kenosha, WI 53144.

State Licensing Deposits – The Company is required to pay deposits for certain licenses in various states.

Revenue – The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606.

The majority of the Company’s sales are of branded products goods to distributors, wholesalers, and end consumers. A minority of the Company’s sales are of raw goods to manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers. The majority of the Company’s sales are to distributors, followed by the Company’s sales to wholesalers, and then the Company’s sales to end consumers. Distributors primarily sell Lifted’s products to vape and smoke shops, stores specializing in cannabinoid-infused products, convenience stores, health food stores, and other outlets.

Typically, the Company’s revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products to a customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company’s products are either shipped or delivered based on the terms contained within the underlying contracts or agreements. If the shipping terms on a sale are FOB destination, the revenue is deferred until the product reaches its destination.

The Company excludes from revenues all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on the sale of its products and collected from customers.

Discounts and rebates are to customers are recorded as a reduction to gross sales.

Management believes that adequate provision has been made for cash discounts, returns and spoilage based on the Company’s historical experience.

Described below are some of the reasons why a customer may want to return an ordered item, and how the Company responds in each situation:

1)	The ordered item breaks, melts, or separates in transit to the customer. In this case, the Company will replace the broken, melted or separated item at no cost to the customer.
2)	The Company sent the wrong item to the customer. In this case, the Company will allow the customer to keep, at no cost to the customer, the item that was mistakenly sent to the customer. The Company will also send the correct product to the customer, at no cost to the customer.
3)	The customer ordered the wrong product. In this case, the customer, at his/her own expense, must mail the mistakenly ordered product back to the Company, and the Company will mail the correct product to the customer.
4)	The ordered item is recalled. In a situation where product is recalled, the Company will offer a replacement, credit, or refund.

Historically, the scenarios described above have occurred infrequently, and occurrences have been immaterial.

Disaggregation of Revenue

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, approximately 99.9% of the Company’s sales occurred inside of the United States of America. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, all of the Company’s sales occurred inside of the United States of America.

The Company has considered providing disaggregation of revenue by information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for evaluating the financial performance of operating segments, such as type of good, geographical region, market or type of customer, type of contract, contract duration, timing of transfer of goods, and sales channels. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of our industry, the Company is constantly launching new products to stay ahead of trends, finding new sales channels, initiating new distribution networks and modifying the prices of its products.

Shown below is a table showing the approximate disaggregation of historical revenue:

Type of Sale	For the three months ended March 31, 2021		% of Net Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021			For the three months ended March 31, 2022		% of Net Sales During the three months ended March 31, 2022
Net sales of raw materials to customers	$	10,696		0	%	$	5,382		0	%
Net sales of products to private label clients	$	758,140		23	%	$	84,142		0	%
Net sales of products to wholesalers	$	612,041		18	%	$	2,475,208		14	%
Net sales of products to distributors	$	1,728,794		52	%	$	13,389,283		74	%
Net sales of products to end consumers	$	243,598		7	%	$	2,134,863		12	%
Net Sales	$	3,353,270		100	%	$	18,088,877		100	%

Deferred Revenue

Amounts received from a customer before the purchased product is shipped to the customer is treated as deferred revenue. If cash is not received, an accounts receivable is recognized for invoiced orders, but revenue is not recognized until an order is fully shipped. Accounts receivable includes amounts associated with partially shipped orders, for which the unshipped portion is a contract asset. Contract assets represent invoiced but unfulfilled performance obligations.

The table shown below represents the composition of deferred revenue between contract assets (invoiced but unfulfilled performance obligations) and deposits from customers from unfulfilled orders as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Contract Assets (invoiced but unfulfilled performance obligations)	$	779,706	$	1,650,258
Deposits from customers for unfulfilled orders	$	100,000	$	524,135
Total Deferred Revenue	$	879,706	$	2,174,393

Cost of Goods Sold – Cost of goods sold consists of the costs of raw materials utilized in the manufacture of products, direct labor, co-packing fees, repacking fees, freight and shipping charges, warehouse expenses incurred prior to the manufacture of Lifted’s finished products and certain quality control costs. Finished goods that are sold account for the largest portion of cost of sales. Raw materials include ingredients, product components and packaging materials. $561,417 and $38,651 of cost of goods sold relates to spoiled and obsolete inventory written off during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Operating Expenses – Operating expenses include payroll, consulting and independent contractor expenses, the accrual for the company-wide management bonus pool, professional fees, bank charges and merchant fees, advertising and marketing, bad debt expense, and depreciation and amortization. Total operating expenses increased to $3,812,549 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, up from $985,254 during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Income Taxes – Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements and on tax carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred income tax assets when it is not more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share – Basic earnings (loss) per common share is determined by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. When dilutive, the incremental potential common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants are determined by the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes the calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2022		2021
Net Income/(Loss)	$	2,944,793	$	618,359
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding:
Basic		14,017,578		7,456,925
Diluted		15,924,776		16,084,794
Basic Net Income (Loss) per Common Share	$	0.21	$	0.08
Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share	$	0.18	$	0.04

As of March 31, 2022, in addition to our outstanding common stock, we have issued (a) options to purchase 1,076,698 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share, (b) warrants to purchase 155,500 shares of common stock at $1 per share, (d) rights to purchase warrants to purchase 1,350,000 shares of common stock at $1.85 per share, and (e) warrants to purchase 2,295,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share.

Regarding the aforementioned rights to purchase warrants to purchase 1,350,000 shares of common stock at $1.85 per share: of these, rights to purchase warrants to purchase 1.25 million shares of our common stock are not vested and are not exercisable until a performance contingency is met.

Regarding the aforementioned warrants to purchase 2,295,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share: of the total, warrants to purchase 1,650,000 shares of our common stock are vested, while the remaining warrants to purchase 645,000 shares of our common stock are not vested and are subject to certain conditions and requirements.

At March 31, 2022, the Company had Series A Preferred Stock outstanding convertible into 575,000 shares of common stock; these are included in the diluted earnings calculation. At March 31, 2022, the Company had Series B Preferred Stock outstanding convertible into 40,000 shares of common stock; these are not included in the diluted earnings calculation because the exercise price ($5/share) was higher than the stock closing price at March 31, 2022 ($3.90/share).

In comparison, as of March 31, 2021, in addition to our outstanding common stock, there were outstanding (a) options to purchase 1,151,698 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share, (b) warrants to purchase 403,921 shares of common stock at $1 per share, (c) warrants to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock at $5 per share, (d) rights to purchase warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of common stock at between $0.01 and $1.85 per share, (e) financing warrants to purchase 31,250 shares of common stock at $0.03 per share, and (f) warrants to purchase 2,295,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share.

Regarding the aforementioned rights to purchase warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of common stock at between $0.01 and $1.85 per share outstanding at March 31, 2021: of these, rights to purchase warrants to purchase 1.25 million shares of our common stock are not vested and are not exercisable until a performance contingency is met.

Regarding the aforementioned warrants to purchase 2,295,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share outstanding at March 31, 2021: of the total, warrants to purchase 1,650,000 shares of our common stock are vested, while the remaining warrants to purchase 645,000 shares of our common stock are not vested and are subject to certain conditions and requirements.

Also outstanding at March 31, 2021, the Company had Series A Preferred Stock outstanding convertible into 3,325,000 shares of common stock; these are included in the diluted earnings calculation. At March 31, 2021, the Company also had Series B Preferred Stock outstanding convertible into 40,000 shares of common stock; these are also included in the diluted earnings calculation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326). ASC 326 adds to US GAAP the current expected credit loss model, a measurement model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this new guidance, an entity recognizes its estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. ASU 2016-13 and its amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, though early adoption is permitted. The Company believes the adoption will modify the way the Company analyzes financial instruments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, though early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements.

On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer, excluding smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The FASB noted that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company is researching what other pronouncements may be applicable to the Company’s accounting and whether or not any other pronouncements should be adopted.

Advertising and Marketing Expenses – Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred $105,601 in advertising and marketing expenses, which primarily related to trade shows, marketing, and promotional products. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred $52,027 in advertising and marketing expenses, which were primarily public relations, search engine optimization and trade show expenses.

Compensated Absences – During the year ended December 31, 2021, paid time off (“PTO”) was provided to employees who obtained approval for it from Nicholas S. Warrender, CEO of Lifted. Any approved PTO was granted at Mr. Warrender’s discretion, and mandatory PTO was zero days, thus no accrual was necessary at March 31, 2021. Effective January 1, 2022, certain PTO policies have been adopted by Lifted, and a PTO accrual of $16,541 was recognized at March 31, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements – The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Reclassifications – Some items from the prior period have been reclassified within the financial statements to conform with the current presentation.

NOTE 4 – RECEIPT OF LOANS UNDER THE ECONOMIC INJURY DISASTER LOAN PROGRAM AND THE PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM

Lifted also applied for and received a loan (the “PPP Loan”) under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted March 27, 2020. The PPP Loan was issued by BMO Harris Bank (the “Lender”) in the aggregate principal amount of $149,622.50 and evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”), dated April 14, 2020 issued by Lifted to the Lender. On April 20, 2021, the entire PPP Loan ($149,622) and the interest payable on the PPP Loan ($1,525) was forgiven by the SBA, and a related gain on forgiveness of debt in the amount of $151,147 was recorded. In accordance with its terms, the Note was originally scheduled to mature on April 14, 2022 and bore interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing on November 14, 2020, following an initial deferral period as specified under the PPP. In addition, the Note could be prepaid by Lifted at any time prior to its original maturity with no prepayment penalties. Proceeds from the PPP Loan were available to Lifted to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs and other permitted expenses, in accordance with the PPP. Under the terms of the PPP, up to the entire amount of principal and accrued interest of the PPP Loan could be forgiven to the extent that at least 75% of the PPP Loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act and applicable implementing guidance issued by the SBA under the PPP. As of March 31, 2021, Lifted had an accrual of $1,443 for the interest on the PPP Loan. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, interest of $82 was accrued prior to the forgiveness of the Loan.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Risks And Uncertainties

NOTE 5 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Going Concern – The Company has a history of recurring losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $8,475,539 as of March 31, 2022. Bankruptcy of the Company at some point in the future is a possibility. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management plans to sustain the Company as a going concern by taking the following actions: (1) acquiring and/or developing profitable businesses that will create positive income from operations; and/or (2) completing private placements of the Company’s common stock and/or preferred stock. Management believes that by taking these actions, the Company will be provided with sufficient future operations and cash flow to continue as a going concern. However, there can be no assurances or guarantees whatsoever that the Company will be successful in consummating such actions on acceptable terms, if at all. Moreover, any such actions can be expected to result in substantial dilution to the existing shareholders of the Company.

The Company’s investments in Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits made the Company a minority owner of these companies. As a minority owner, the Company is not able to recognize any portion of Ablis’, Bendistillery’s or Bend Spirits’ revenues or earnings in the Company’s financial statements. The Company monitors its investments in Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits, and from time to time and will evaluate whether there has been a potential impairment of value.

The COVID-19 pandemic and its ramifications, combined with the expenses and potential liabilities associated with litigation involving Lifted, combined with the regulatory risks and uncertainties associated with the cannabinoid-infused products, vaping and nicotine products industries, combined with the risks associated with internet hacking or sabotage, combined with the risks of employee and/or independent contractor disloyalty or theft of Company information and opportunities, have created significant adverse risks to the Company, which have caused substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Moreover, the Company’s balance sheet is weak. Among other financial obligations, the Company owes Nicholas S. Warrender $2,750,000 under the $2,750,000 Promissory Note, which is accruing interest at 2.5% per annum, and which was executed on January 3, 2022. The principal of the Promissory Note shall be paid off by Payors in five semi-annual payments to Nicholas S. Warrender of $458,333 and a sixth and final semi-annual payment to Nicholas S. Warrender of $458,335, in each case plus accrued interest, starting on June 30, 2022. Accrued interest of $16,575 on the $2,750,000 Promissory Note was recognized at March 31, 2022.

Under the Omnibus Agreement, Lifted is also obligated to purchase a building leased by Lifted from an affiliate of our Vice Chairman and COO Nicholas S. Warrender on or before December 31, 2022, for a fixed purchase price equal to $1,375,000. The Company is also accruing 3% annual dividends on its Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Also, on February 14, 2022, Nicholas S. Warrender, Gerard M. Jacobs and William C. Jacobs (together the “Parties”) and LFTD Partners, entered into an agreement (the “Amended Omnibus Agreement”) that amends in part the Agreement dated as of December 30, 2021 entered into by and among LFTD Partners Inc., the Parties, Lifted Liquids, Inc. d/b/a Lifted Made and 95th Holdings, LLC (the “Omnibus Agreement”). The Amended Omnibus Agreement (1) terminates the right for the Parties to receive bonus compensation in regard to 2021 that is in excess of the Modified 2021 Bonus Pool Amount of $1,556,055 set out in the Omnibus Agreement; (2) places a cap on the 2022 company-wide bonus pool such that the 2022 company-wide bonus pool shall not be allowed to be accrued or paid by LIFD if and to the extent that doing so would decrease LIFD’s 2022 diluted earnings per share of common stock below $0.56 per share; and (3) the $500,000 of additional bonus set out in the Omnibus Agreement, is now allocated and defined as a retention bonus of $166,667 to each of NWarrender, GJacobs and WJacobs to be paid at the end of 2022 so long as each respective executive has not earlier resigned from LFTD Partners.

Moreover, LFTD Partners agrees and covenants that the Chairman of the Compensation Committee is authorized to negotiate and agree on behalf of LFTD Partners in regard to a 2023 supplemental retention bonus for NWarrender, GJacobs and WJacobs (in addition to the company-wide Bonus Pool), and if and only if the amount of such 2023 supplemental retention bonus is mutually agreed upon in writing among the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, NWarrender, GJacobs and WJacobs, then one-third of such 2023 supplemental retention bonus shall be paid by LFTD Partners to each of NWarrender, GJacobs and WJacobs on or before March 15, 2024, provided that such officer shall not have earlier resigned as an officer of LFTD Partners.

Also, starting in 2022, Lifted for the first time has committed to spend a material amount of money on research and development on a potential new, non-hemp-derived psychedelic product. We anticipate that the cost of this research and development could potentially reach $100,000. There is no guarantee whether this research and development will be successful in generating a new psychedelic product that can be sold, or if it can be sold, that it will be successful.

In addition, factors that could materially affect future operating results include, but are not limited to, changes to laws and regulations, especially those related to hemp-derived delta-8-THC, delta-9-THC, delta-10-THC, THCV, HHC, HHCO, THCO, CBDA, CBC, CBG, CBN, CBD, other hemp-derived cannabinoids, nicotine products, kratom, psychedelic products, vaping, vendor concentration risk, customer concentration risk, customer credit risk, and counterparty risk. The Company maintains levels of cash in a bank deposit account that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such account and it believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

No assurance or guarantee whatsoever can be given that the net income of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Lifted will be sufficient to allow the Company to pay all of its operating expenses and the dividends accruing on the Company’s preferred stock. As a result, there is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Bankruptcy of the Company at some point in the future is a possibility. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company currently has one revenue-generating subsidiary, Lifted. If and to the extent that the revenue generated by Lifted is not adequate to pay the Company’s operating expenses and the dividends accruing on its preferred stock, then Company management plans to sustain the Company as a going concern by taking the following actions: (1) acquiring and/or developing additional profitable businesses that will create positive income from operations; and/or (2) completing private placements of the Company’s common stock and/or preferred stock. Management believes that by taking these actions, the Company will be provided with sufficient future operations and cash flow to continue as a going concern. However, there can be no assurances or guarantees whatsoever that the Company will be successful in consummating such actions on acceptable terms, if at all. Moreover, any such actions can be expected to result in substantial dilution to the existing shareholders of the Company.

Concentration of Credit Risks – During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, five customers made up approximately 32% of Lifted Made’s sales. In comparison, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, there were no customers who made up more than 8% of Lifted Made’s sales.

Regarding the purchases of raw goods and finished goods (“Supplies”), during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, approximately 58% of the Supplies that Lifted purchased were from five vendors. In comparison, regarding the purchases of Supplies during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, approximately 53% of the purchased Supplies were from five vendors.

The loss of Lifted’s relationships with these vendors and customers could have a material adverse effect on Lifted’s business.

NOTE 6 – THE COMPANY’S INVESTMENTS

The Company’s Investments in Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits

On April 30, 2019, the Company purchased 4.99% of the common stock of each of Ablis Holding Company, Bendistillery Inc., and Bend Spirits, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $1,896,200.

Under US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses the cost method to account for our minority equity ownership interests in businesses in which the Company owns less than 20% of equity ownership, and have no substantial influence over the management of the businesses. Under the cost method of accounting, the Company reports the historical costs of the investments as assets on its balance sheet. However, US GAAP does not permit the consolidation of its financial statements with the financial statements of companies in which the Company owns minority equity ownership interests.

As such, the Company’s investments in Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits made the Company a minority owner of these companies. As a minority owner, the Company will not be able to recognize any portion of Ablis’, Bendistillery’s or Bend Spirits’ revenues or earnings in the Company’s financial statements. US GAAP also requires the Company to record these types of investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. As such, the Company will not be allowed to consolidate into its financial statements any portion of the revenues, earnings or assets of companies in which it owns minority equity ownership interests such as Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits. Moreover, even if there is evidence that the fair market values of the investments have increased above their historical costs, US GAAP does not allow increasing the recorded values of the investments. Under US GAAP, the only adjustments that may be made to the historical costs of the investments are write downs of the values of the investments, which must be made if there is evidence that the fair market values of the investments have declined to below the recorded historical costs.

At each reporting period, the Company makes a qualitative assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether its investments are impaired. Factors that the Company would consider indicators of impairment include: (1) a significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee, (2) a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee, (3) a significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographical area or the industry in which the investee operates, (4) a bona fide offer to purchase, an offer by the investee to sell, or a completed auction process for the same or similar investment for an amount less than the carrying amount of that investment, and (5) factors that raise significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as negative cash flows from operations, working capital deficiencies, or noncompliance with statutory capital requirements or debt covenants. Up to the date of this report on Form 10-Q, none of the above the above factors have been applicable to the Company’s investments.

The qualitative assessments at the end of quarters one, two and three are done via conference calls with the management teams of Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits. The qualitative assessment at the end of quarter four relating to these entities also includes review of their respective financial statements that have been reviewed by a third party accounting firm. At that time, the Company performs an annual impairment assessment. The reviewed financial statements of these companies are not audited, and the Company is not active in the management of these companies, and except for these companies’ quarterly meetings with the management of the Company, the Company’s assessment of these companies is inherently limited to infrequent and relatively brief conversations with officers of these companies and to reviews of those reviewed financial statements.

On April 27, 2022, a telephonic meeting of the board of directors of Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits was held. During this meeting, the management of those companies reviewed the performance of Ablis, Bendistillery and Bend Spirits during the quarter and ended March 31, 2022. Based upon the financial and non-financial information that was shared with LFTD Partners during that conference call, the management of LFTD Partners believes that no impairment of the value of Bendistillery, Bend Spirits or Ablis is warranted at this point in time. The information that was shared by the management of Ablis included, among other things: increased revenue of both Bendistillery and Bend Spirits from the first quarter of 2021 to the first quarter of 2022, markets opening up again from the pandemic, investments in equipment and a new on-site warehouse, Ablis’ hiring of a marketing firm, and the fact that managements of Bendistillery and Ablis are actively working with an investment bank to explore capital raising options and other strategic options.

The Company’s Investment in Lifted Made

Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the Company’s acquisitions is attributable to the value of the potential expanded market opportunity with new customers.

Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment testing unless circumstances dictate more frequent assessments. The Company performs an annual impairment assessment for goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process performed at the reporting unit level. Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined by considering both the income approach and market approaches. The fair values calculated under the income approach and market approaches are weighted based on circumstances surrounding the reporting unit. Under the income approach, the Company determines fair value based on estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit, which are discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. For the discount rate, the Company relies on the capital asset pricing model approach, which includes an assessment of the risk-free interest rate, the rate of return from publicly traded stocks, the Company’s risk relative to the overall market, the Company’s size and industry and other Company-specific risks. Other significant assumptions used in the income approach include the terminal value, growth rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approaches use key multiples from guideline businesses that are comparable and are traded on a public market. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Step two calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as calculated in step one. In this step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation as if the reporting unit had been acquired on that date. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, strategic plans, and future market conditions, among others. There can be no assurance that the Company’s estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Changes in assumptions and estimates could cause the Company to perform an impairment test prior to scheduled annual impairment tests.

The Company performed its annual fair value assessments at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 on the goodwill recognized as part of the acquisition of Lifted, and determined that no impairment was necessary. The factors that led the Company to this conclusion include, among other things: continued growth in sales and profitability year-over-year, the launch of first-to-market, ground-breaking new products, the addition of more and more wholesalers and distributors nationwide, increased sales to wholesalers and end consumers, the continued growth of Lifted’s flagship brand Urb Finest Flowers, and continued positive publicity of Lifted. Lifted has also been limited in its production capacity due to the size of its facility in Zion, Illinois. With Lifted’s recent move into a much larger facility located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Lifted should be able to produce a greater quantity of products to meet demand.

The Company’s Investment in SmplyLifted LLC

On September 22, 2020, LFTD Partners Inc. and Lifted Made and privately-held SMPLSTC, Costa Mesa, CA (www.SMPLSTCBD.com) formed an equally-owned new entity called SmplyLifted LLC, which sold tobacco-free nicotine pouches in several flavors and nicotine strengths under the brand name FR3SH (www.GETFR3SH.com).

Lifted had a 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC. The other 50% of SmplyLifted is owned by SMPLSTC LLC and its principals, who are located in Costa Mesa, California. Under US GAAP, the Company used the equity method to account for its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company recorded its share (50%) of SmplyLifted’s earnings (or losses) as income (or losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded its initial investment in SmplyLifted, which was $200,000, as an asset at historical cost. Under the equity method, the investment’s value was periodically adjusted to reflect the changes in value due to Lifted’s share in SmplyLifted’s income or losses.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized a loss of $4,429 from its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted, and wrote down the value of its investment in SmplyLifted to $195,571. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized a loss of $195,571 from its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted. At December 31, 2021, Lifted Made wrote off its receivables from SmplyLifted, and its loans to SmplyLifted, which totaled $388,727.

On February 9, 2022, Lifted Made signed an Agreement to sell its 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC to Corner Vapory LLC, an affiliate of NWarrender, CEO of Lifted, for $1, plus ninety-nine percent (99%) of any and all payments and other consideration received or owed to Corner Vapory LLC in regard to SmplyLifted’s existing inventory of FR3SH brand tobacco-free nicotine pouches. Lifted has the option to re-purchase the 50% membership interest in SmplyLifted LLC from Corner Vapory LLC for $1,000 in cash at any time on or before December 31, 2032.

On August 8, 2019, the Company made an unsecured $300,000 loan to Lion (the “Loan”) evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) in connection with the proposed Merger Agreement with Lion. Per the terms of the Note, if the Transaction did not close and the merger agreement were terminated, then the Loan was to be repaid by Lion to the Company in six equal monthly installments of principal, together with accrued interest at the rate of 6% per year, with the first such installment due and payable by Lion to the Company on the first day of the first calendar month following the termination of the merger agreement.

Due to termination of the Merger Agreement, and per Section 5.15(b) of the Merger Agreement, as of December 31, 2019 the Company owed CBD Lion $31,500 for reimbursement of professional fees related to the audit of CBD Lion.

The William Noyes Webster Foundation, Inc.

The Foundation, a non-profit Massachusetts corporation, has received a provisional registration from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to own and operate a medical marijuana cultivation facility in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and a medical marijuana dispensary in Dennis, Massachusetts. Jane W. Heatley (“Heatley”) is the founder and a member of the board of directors of the Foundation.

Teaming Agreement – The Company believes it is highly likely that the board of directors of the Foundation will only approve contracts that have been negotiated and approved by Heatley. Consequently, on July 8, 2014, the Company entered into a Teaming Agreement (the “Teaming Agreement”) with Heatley, in which, among other things: (1) the Company and Heatley agreed to use their respective best efforts, working exclusively together as a team, and not as a partnership or other entity, in order to consummate transactions, agreements, contracts or other arrangements pursuant to which the Company will provide capital and expertise to the Foundation; and (2) Heatley agreed that Heatley shall not, and shall not permit the Foundation to, discuss or negotiate for debt or equity financing, or consulting services or other expertise, from any third party. The Company claims that Heatley violated the Teaming Agreement by discussing and negotiating for debt or equity financing, or consulting services or other expertise, from at least one third party. Heatley claims that the Company violated the Teaming Agreement alleging that the Company failed to lend funds to the Foundation in accordance with the Teaming Agreement. The Company believes Heatley’s claim to be baseless. No assurances whatsoever can be made that Heatley will comply with the terms of the Teaming Agreement, nor that the Company will be able to adequately enforce the terms of the Teaming Agreement if it is ever the subject of litigation.

Promissory Note – On July 14, 2014, the Foundation signed and delivered to the Company a Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) which is in the stated loan amount of $1,500,000, and is secured by a Security Agreement of even date therewith (the “Security Agreement”). The Note provides that the $1,500,000 loan may be advanced in one or more installments as the Foundation and the Company may mutually agree upon. The Foundation and the Company mutually agreed that the first installment of this loan would be $602,500. Pursuant to instructions from the Foundation, on July 14, 2014, the Company paid $2,500 owed by the Foundation to one of its consultants, and the Company advanced $600,000 directly to the Foundation. The amount and timing of subsequent loan installments under the Note, which could have totaled $897,500, had not yet been mutually agreed upon between the Foundation and the Company as of the date of the Note.

Between April and July 2015, the Company loaned an additional $135,350 to the Foundation, evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Agreement. Following such additional loans, the principal of the loan from the Company to the Foundation, evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Agreement, is now $737,850. The principal balance outstanding under the Note bore interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum, compounded monthly. It was contemplated that the first payment of accrued interest by the Foundation under the Note would be made as soon after the Foundation commences operations of the Plymouth Cultivation Facility and the Dennis Dispensary as the Foundation’s cash flows shall reasonably permit, but in any event no later than one year after the Foundation commences operations. The principal of the Note would be payable in eight consecutive equal quarterly installments, commencing on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Foundation commences operations. Principal on the Note and related accrued interest would be considered past due if the aforementioned payments were not received by their due dates.

Uncollectable Note and Interest Receivable – The Company assessed the collectability of the Note based on the adequacy of the Foundation’s collateral and the Foundation’s capability of repaying the Note according to its terms. Based on this assessment, on September 1, 2015, the Company concluded that Note and interest receivable would not be collectible. As such, the Company wrote off the Note totaling $737,850 and interest receivable totaling $97,427 as bad debt expense on September 1, 2015.

95th Holdings, LLC

From June 1, 2018 through June 1, 2021, Lifted rented 3,300 square feet of space located in Zion, Illinois, for manufacturing, warehousing and office space. From June 1, 2021 through November 2021, Lifted leased such space on a month-to-month basis. From May 2020 until April 1, 2021, Lifted also temporarily used additional space located adjacent to its rented space in Zion, Illinois, and made payments in lieu of rent therefor.

Lifted’s rented space in Zion, Illinois, was not adequate in light of various issues including zoning uncertainties, lack of air conditioning, and small size. As such, on December 18, 2020, Lifted as tenant entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease) with 95^th Holdings, LLC (“Landlord”) for office, laboratory and warehouse space in a building located at 5511 95^th Avenue, in the City of Kenosha, State of Wisconsin (the “Premises”). The lease commencement date was January 1, 2021, and lease termination date is January 1, 2026. 

Lifted constructed improvements including a clean room, and gradually moved into the Kenosha Premises over the course of the first quarter of 2021. Under the terms of the “triple-net” Lease, starting on January 1, 2021, Lifted leased approximately 11,238 square feet at the Premises at $6.13 per square foot per year in base rent ($68,888.94 in 2021), which is subject to a 2% increase in base rent each year, plus certain operating expenses and taxes. The Lease will continue until midnight on the fifth anniversary date of the commencement date of the Lease. Lifted shall have the right to extend the original five year term of the Lease for one extension period of two years, commencing upon the expiration of the original term. Lifted and Landlord are required to execute an “Amendment of Extension” prior to six months before the expiration of the original term.

Under the terms of the lease, the tenant, Lifted, has the option to purchase the property at any time prior to December 31, 2025, and in any event, Lifted is obligated to purchase the property on or before that date. Pursuant to the Lease, in all cases Lifted’s purchase price for the Premises shall be in an amount equal to the greater of: (1) the fair market value of the Premises at the time Lifted purchases the Premises; or (2) any remaining principal balance of any purchase-money mortgage for the Premises existing at the time of the closing of Lifted’s purchase, plus the corresponding amount identified in the Additional Purchase Price Schedule attached as Exhibit B to the Lease, which is an additional amount ranging between $300,000 and $375,000 based on the number of years that have passed between the commencement of the Lease and the purchase of the Premises by Lifted.

Landlord is an entity owned by Nicholas S. Warrender, the Company’s Vice Chairman and COO, the CEO of Lifted, and the largest stockholder of the Company as beneficial owner of 3,900,455 common stock shares. Due to the potential conflict of interest, the terms and conditions of the Lease were negotiated on behalf of Lifted by Vincent J. Mesolella, the Lead Outside Director of the Company. Landlord and Lifted were represented by their own independent legal counsel in connection with the Lease. Under the terms of the Lease, Mr. Warrender is able to benefit through his entity 95^th Holdings, LLC by receiving rent and by eventually selling the Premises to Lifted.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, Lifted paid $17,567 in rent to 95^th Holdings, LLC. In comparison, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, Lifted paid a total of $17,222 in rent to 95th Holdings, LLC.

Contingent Contractual Obligations And Commercial Commitments

NOTE 12 – CONTINGENT CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS

Operating and Finance Lease Right-of-Use Assets – In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The amended guidance, which is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases with terms in excess of 12 months and currently classified as operating leases. Leases with an initial term of one year or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; lease expense for these types of leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Options to extend or terminate a lease are not included in the determination of the right-of-use asset or lease liability unless it is reasonably certain to be exercised. Lifted adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective approach, electing the package of practical expedients.

Lifted does not own any physical properties.

Lease of Building Located at 5511 95th Ave, Kenosha, Wisconsin

On December 18, 2020, Lifted as tenant entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease) with 95th Holdings, LLC (“Landlord”) for office, laboratory and warehouse space in a building located at 5511 95^th Avenue, in the City of Kenosha, State of Wisconsin (the “Premises”). The lease commencement date was January 1, 2021, and lease termination date is January 1, 2026. 

Landlord is an entity owned directly or indirectly by NWarrender, the Company’s Vice Chairman and COO, the CEO of Lifted, and the largest stockholder of the Company as the beneficial owner of 3,900,455 shares of common stock of the Company. Due to the potential conflict of interest, the terms and conditions of the Lease were negotiated on behalf of Lifted by Vincent J. Mesolella, the Lead Outside Director of the Company. Landlord and Lifted were represented by their own independent legal counsel in connection with the Lease. Under the terms of the Lease, NWarrender is able to benefit through his ownership of Landlord by Landlord’s receiving rent and eventually selling the Premises to Lifted.

Lifted constructed improvements to the Premises including a clean room, and gradually moved into the Premises over the course of the first quarter of 2021.

Under the terms of the “triple-net” Lease, starting on January 1, 2021, Lifted leased approximately 11,238 square feet at the Premises at $6.13 per square foot per year in base rent ($68,888.94 in 2021), which is subject to a 2% increase in base rent each year, plus certain operating expenses and taxes. The Lease will continue until midnight on the fifth anniversary date of the commencement date of the Lease. Lifted shall have the right to extend the original five year term of the Lease for one extension period of two years, commencing upon the expiration of the original term. Lifted and Landlord are required to execute an “Amendment of Extension” prior to six months before the expiration of the original term.

Under the terms of the Omnibus Agreement, Lifted is obligated to purchase the Premises from Landlord on or before December 31, 2022 for a fixed purchase price of $1,375,000. As a result, as of December 31, 2021, the Company modified its methodology for accounting of this finance lease (the “Modification Date”), such that the only liability recognized as of December 31, 2021 was a current (within one year) liability, and there was no long-term liability recognized. An immaterial loss on lease modification of $1,446 was also recognized as of the Modification Date. The Finance Lease Right-of-Use Asset value was reduced to reflect the fixed purchase price agreed to under the Omnibus Agreement.

The Finance Lease Right-of-Use Asset will be amortized over its useful life (39 years) on a prospective basis from the Modification Date. That is, the Finance Lease Right-of-Use Asset was previously amortized over the lease term, but given mandatory purchase by December 31, 2022, the Finance Lease Right-of-Use Asset will be amortized over 39 years starting on the Modification Date.

The term of the 58^th Lease commenced on October 1, 2021. The initial term of the Lease will extend approximately three year, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 58^th Lease. While extensions are not prohibited, Lifted does not have the right to unilaterally elect to extend the term of the 58^th Lease for an additional term.

Under the terms of the 58^th Lease, Lifted will lease the approximately 5,000 square feet of the 58^th Suite 850 and pay a base square foot charge of $5.75 per square foot per annum, with a 3% increase in rent each year during the term.

COMPANY WIDE MANAGEMENT BONUS POOL

Company Wide Management Bonus Pool

NOTE 14 – COMPANY-WIDE MANAGEMENT BONUS POOL

Pursuant to the employment agreements entered into between the Company and its three principal executives Gerard M. Jacobs, William C. “Jake” Jacobs, and Nicholas S. Warrender (individually, “Executive”), the Company is obligated to compensate management of the Company via a management bonus pool.

For each fiscal year during the Employment Term, the Executive shall be eligible to be considered for an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) as part of a Company-wide management bonus pool arrangement. During the fourth quarter of each year, the Chairman of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) shall recommend in writing a consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) target (each, a “Target”) for the following year (the “Target Year”), which Target must be approved in writing by each of the following for as long as he remains employed by the Company: Gerard M. Jacobs, William C. Jacobs, and Nicholas S. Warrender (collectively, and with respect to each for only as long as he is an employee of the Company, the “Executive Management Group”). If the Chairman of the Compensation Committee does not recommend in writing a Target for a Target Year that is approved in writing by all of the members of the Executive Management Group prior to the commencement of the Target Year, then the Target for the Target Year shall be equal to the actual consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries during the then-current year (i.e., the year preceding the Target Year) as certified in writing by the Company’s outside firm of independent certified public accountants. If the actual consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries during the Target Year as certified in writing by the Company’s outside firm of independent certified public accountants exceeds the Target (the amount by which the actual consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries during the Target Year as certified in writing by the Company’s outside firm of independent certified public accountants exceeds the Target, the “Excess Amount”), then cash equal to 33% of the Excess Amount shall be set aside by the Company as a cash management bonus pool (the “Bonus Pool”), and the amount of the Bonus Pool shall be allocated and paid out by the Company as bonuses or fees to the officers of the Company and its subsidiaries (and potentially, to directors or third parties who have significantly helped the Company and its subsidiaries during the Target Year), with the amount to be paid to each payee, including the amount of any Annual Bonus to be paid to the Executive, to be determined by unanimous written agreement of the Executive Management Group, in their sole discretion. The Executive expressly agrees and acknowledges that the amount of the Annual Bonus (if any) allocated and paid to the Executive as so determined by unanimous written agreement of the Executive Management Group shall be final, non-appealable, and binding upon the Executive, regardless of whether the Executive receives any Annual Bonus, and regardless of whether any Annual Bonus received by the Executive is higher or lower than any other person’s bonus, under any and all circumstances whatsoever. The Company shall pay the Executive the Annual Bonus, if any, no later than March 15th of the year following the applicable Target Year.) In the event that there is funding for the Bonus Pool but the Executive Management Group does not reach a unanimous decision on Bonus allocations, then no annual bonus shall be paid. The Annual Bonus Pool would then be placed in escrow and the Executive Management Group would mediate.

The company-wide Bonus Pool for 2021 was $1,559,334 (the “Modified 2021 Bonus Pool Amount”), which was the aggregate amount that was accrued for in LIFD’s financial statements covering the period from January 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021.

Income Taxes

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, broadened the corporate tax base through the elimination or reduction of deductions, exclusions, and credits, limited the ability of U.S. corporations to deduct interest expense, and transitioned to a territorial tax system which allows for the repatriation of foreign earnings to the U.S. with a 100% federal dividends received deduction prospectively. In addition, the Tax Act required a one-time transitional tax on foreign cash equivalents and previously unremitted earnings. Several of the new provisions enacted as part of the Tax Act require clarification and guidance from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and Treasury Department. These or other changes in U.S. tax laws could impact our profits, effective tax rate, and cash flows.

Significant components on the Company’s income tax provision (benefit) for continuing operations is as follows:

The Company currently believes that all significant filing positions are highly certain and that all of its significant income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained upon audit. Therefore, the Company has no significant reserves for uncertain tax positions and no adjustments to such reserves were required by generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination for the years ended December 31, 2016 through 2021. A reconciliation of the amount of tax provision (benefit) computed using the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the provision (benefit) for income taxes on continuing operations is as follows:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2022

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

Consolidated Financial Statements

Consolidated Financial Statements – The consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in the annual report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and consist of only normal recurring adjustments, except as disclosed herein. As part of the consolidation, all significant intercompany transactions are eliminated, and on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, certain expenses are consolidated into the Other Operating Expenses category.

Use Of Estimates

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) typically requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. Key estimates in these financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, valuation allowance on deferred income tax assets and the fair value of stock options and warrants.

Cash And Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 included cash on-hand. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date within 90 days to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost. The Company maintains its cash balance at a credit-worthy financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. Deposits with these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. 

Notes Receivable

Notes Receivable – Notes receivable are classified on the balance sheet based on their maturity date.

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The historical carrying amount of the financial instruments, which principally include cash, trade receivables, historical accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to the relative short maturity of such instruments.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair-value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

SmplyLifted LLC, Ablis Holding Company, Bendistillery Inc. and Bend Spirits, Inc. are not publicly traded, and as such their financial instruments are Level 3 unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable – The Company evaluates the collectability of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded (the “Allowance for Doubtful Accounts”), which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on the Company’s recent loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding. As of December 31, 2021, the Company implemented a new policy regarding allowances for doubtful accounts, which is that all accounts receivable older than 90 days at quarter end are accrued for in allowances for doubtful accounts. Allowances for doubtful accounts of $487,101 and $239,101 were recorded at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

As described in “Description of Certain Key Provisions of the Transaction Documents Relating to the Lifted Merger Agreement”, the $2,750,000 Promissory Note is secured by (a) a first lien security interest in all of the assets of the Company and Lifted; and (b) a pledge of: (i) all of the capital stock of Lifted; (ii) all of the common stock of Bendistillery, Bend Spirits and Ablis that is owned by the Company; and (iii) all of the capital stock of any other entity owned by the Company, Lifted or any of their subsidiaries, pursuant to a Collateral Stock Pledge Agreement between Mr. Warrender, as Secured Party, and the Company and Lifted, as Pledgors.

Inventory

Inventory – Inventory is valued at the lower of average cost or market value (net realizable value). Inventory consisted of the following at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Raw Goods	$	4,364,744	$	2,927,727
Finished Goods	$	1,555,731	$	882,217
Total Inventory	$	5,920,475	$	3,809,944

Monthly overhead costs such as payments for rent, utilities, insurance, and indirect labor are allocated to finished goods based on the estimated percentage cost toward the finished goods. Depreciation expense related to certain machinery and equipment is also allocated to finished goods.

At March 31, 2022, $88,599 of overhead costs were allocated to finished goods. In comparison, During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, $16,472 of overhead costs were allocated to finished goods.

As described in “Description of Certain Key Provisions of the Transaction Documents Relating to the Lifted Merger Agreement”, the Promissory Note is secured by (a) a first lien security interest in all of the assets of the Company and Lifted; and (b) a pledge of: (i) all of the capital stock of Lifted; (ii) all of the common stock of Bendistillery, Bend Spirits and Ablis that is owned by the Company; and (iii) all of the capital stock of any other entity owned by the Company, Lifted or any of their subsidiaries, pursuant to a Collateral Stock Pledge Agreement between Mr. Warrender, as Secured Party, and the Company and Lifted, as Pledgors.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, $561,417 of obsolete and spoiled inventory was written off. In comparison, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, $38,561 of obsolete and spoiled inventory was written off.

The process of determining obsolete inventory during the quarter involved:

1)	Identifying raw goods that would no longer be used in the manufacture of finished goods;
2)	Identifying finished goods that would no longer be sold or that are slow moving; and
3)	Valuing and expensing raw and finished goods that would no longer be sold.

Fixed Assets– Fixed assets are recorded and stated at cost. Fixed assets that cost less than $2,500 are expensed, and fixed assets that cost $2,500 or more are capitalized. Depreciation of machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements, and computer equipment, is based on the asset’s estimated useful life and is calculated using the straight-line method. Normal repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that materially increase values or extend useful lives are capitalized. The related costs and accumulated depreciation of disposed assets are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss on disposition is included in net income.

Management regularly reviews property and equipment and other long-lived assets for possible impairment. This review occurs annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management then prepares an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. The fair value is estimated using the present value of the future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with management’s estimates of the business risks.

Preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on management’s best estimate of assumptions concerning expected future conditions. Long-lived assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Security Deposit

Security Deposits – The Company had paid a security deposit to its lessor for the Company’s former office, manufacturing and warehouse space in Zion, IL, that was rented on a month-to-month basis from June 1, 2021 through November 2021. The security deposit was written off at December 31, 2021.

The Company has not paid a security deposit for its leased facility located at 5511 95^th Avenue, Kenosha, WI 53144 for the Company’s current office, manufacturing and warehouse space.

The Company has paid security deposits for its leased facilities located at 8920 58^th Place, Suite 850, Kenosha, WI 53144, and 8910 58^th Place, Suites 600 and 700, Kenosha, WI 53144.

State Licensing Deposits – The Company is required to pay deposits for certain licenses in various states.

Revenue

Revenue – The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606.

The majority of the Company’s sales are of branded products goods to distributors, wholesalers, and end consumers. A minority of the Company’s sales are of raw goods to manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers. The majority of the Company’s sales are to distributors, followed by the Company’s sales to wholesalers, and then the Company’s sales to end consumers. Distributors primarily sell Lifted’s products to vape and smoke shops, stores specializing in cannabinoid-infused products, convenience stores, health food stores, and other outlets.

Typically, the Company’s revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products to a customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company’s products are either shipped or delivered based on the terms contained within the underlying contracts or agreements. If the shipping terms on a sale are FOB destination, the revenue is deferred until the product reaches its destination.

The Company excludes from revenues all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on the sale of its products and collected from customers.

Discounts and rebates are to customers are recorded as a reduction to gross sales.

Management believes that adequate provision has been made for cash discounts, returns and spoilage based on the Company’s historical experience.

Described below are some of the reasons why a customer may want to return an ordered item, and how the Company responds in each situation:

1)	The ordered item breaks, melts, or separates in transit to the customer. In this case, the Company will replace the broken, melted or separated item at no cost to the customer.
2)	The Company sent the wrong item to the customer. In this case, the Company will allow the customer to keep, at no cost to the customer, the item that was mistakenly sent to the customer. The Company will also send the correct product to the customer, at no cost to the customer.
3)	The customer ordered the wrong product. In this case, the customer, at his/her own expense, must mail the mistakenly ordered product back to the Company, and the Company will mail the correct product to the customer.
4)	The ordered item is recalled. In a situation where product is recalled, the Company will offer a replacement, credit, or refund.

Historically, the scenarios described above have occurred infrequently, and occurrences have been immaterial.

Disaggregation of Revenue

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, approximately 99.9% of the Company’s sales occurred inside of the United States of America. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, all of the Company’s sales occurred inside of the United States of America.

The Company has considered providing disaggregation of revenue by information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for evaluating the financial performance of operating segments, such as type of good, geographical region, market or type of customer, type of contract, contract duration, timing of transfer of goods, and sales channels. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of our industry, the Company is constantly launching new products to stay ahead of trends, finding new sales channels, initiating new distribution networks and modifying the prices of its products.

Shown below is a table showing the approximate disaggregation of historical revenue:

Type of Sale	For the three months ended March 31, 2021		% of Net Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2021			For the three months ended March 31, 2022		% of Net Sales During the three months ended March 31, 2022
Net sales of raw materials to customers	$	10,696		0	%	$	5,382		0	%
Net sales of products to private label clients	$	758,140		23	%	$	84,142		0	%
Net sales of products to wholesalers	$	612,041		18	%	$	2,475,208		14	%
Net sales of products to distributors	$	1,728,794		52	%	$	13,389,283		74	%
Net sales of products to end consumers	$	243,598		7	%	$	2,134,863		12	%
Net Sales	$	3,353,270		100	%	$	18,088,877		100	%

Deferred Revenue

Amounts received from a customer before the purchased product is shipped to the customer is treated as deferred revenue. If cash is not received, an accounts receivable is recognized for invoiced orders, but revenue is not recognized until an order is fully shipped. Accounts receivable includes amounts associated with partially shipped orders, for which the unshipped portion is a contract asset. Contract assets represent invoiced but unfulfilled performance obligations.

The table shown below represents the composition of deferred revenue between contract assets (invoiced but unfulfilled performance obligations) and deposits from customers from unfulfilled orders as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Contract Assets (invoiced but unfulfilled performance obligations)	$	779,706	$	1,650,258
Deposits from customers for unfulfilled orders	$	100,000	$	524,135
Total Deferred Revenue	$	879,706	$	2,174,393

Cost Of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods Sold – Cost of goods sold consists of the costs of raw materials utilized in the manufacture of products, direct labor, co-packing fees, repacking fees, freight and shipping charges, warehouse expenses incurred prior to the manufacture of Lifted’s finished products and certain quality control costs. Finished goods that are sold account for the largest portion of cost of sales. Raw materials include ingredients, product components and packaging materials. $561,417 and $38,651 of cost of goods sold relates to spoiled and obsolete inventory written off during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Operating Expenses

Operating Expenses – Operating expenses include payroll, consulting and independent contractor expenses, the accrual for the company-wide management bonus pool, professional fees, bank charges and merchant fees, advertising and marketing, bad debt expense, and depreciation and amortization. Total operating expenses increased to $3,812,549 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, up from $985,254 during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes – Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements and on tax carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred income tax assets when it is not more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.

Basic And Diluted Earnings (loss) Per Common Share

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share – Basic earnings (loss) per common share is determined by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. When dilutive, the incremental potential common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants are determined by the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes the calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2022		2021
Net Income/(Loss)	$	2,944,793	$	618,359
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding:
Basic		14,017,578		7,456,925
Diluted		15,924,776		16,084,794
Basic Net Income (Loss) per Common Share	$	0.21	$	0.08
Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share	$	0.18	$	0.04

As of March 31, 2022, in addition to our outstanding common stock, we have issued (a) options to purchase 1,076,698 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share, (b) warrants to purchase 155,500 shares of common stock at $1 per share, (d) rights to purchase warrants to purchase 1,350,000 shares of common stock at $1.85 per share, and (e) warrants to purchase 2,295,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share.

Regarding the aforementioned rights to purchase warrants to purchase 1,350,000 shares of common stock at $1.85 per share: of these, rights to purchase warrants to purchase 1.25 million shares of our common stock are not vested and are not exercisable until a performance contingency is met.

Regarding the aforementioned warrants to purchase 2,295,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share: of the total, warrants to purchase 1,650,000 shares of our common stock are vested, while the remaining warrants to purchase 645,000 shares of our common stock are not vested and are subject to certain conditions and requirements.

At March 31, 2022, the Company had Series A Preferred Stock outstanding convertible into 575,000 shares of common stock; these are included in the diluted earnings calculation. At March 31, 2022, the Company had Series B Preferred Stock outstanding convertible into 40,000 shares of common stock; these are not included in the diluted earnings calculation because the exercise price ($5/share) was higher than the stock closing price at March 31, 2022 ($3.90/share).

In comparison, as of March 31, 2021, in addition to our outstanding common stock, there were outstanding (a) options to purchase 1,151,698 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share, (b) warrants to purchase 403,921 shares of common stock at $1 per share, (c) warrants to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock at $5 per share, (d) rights to purchase warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of common stock at between $0.01 and $1.85 per share, (e) financing warrants to purchase 31,250 shares of common stock at $0.03 per share, and (f) warrants to purchase 2,295,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share.

Regarding the aforementioned rights to purchase warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of common stock at between $0.01 and $1.85 per share outstanding at March 31, 2021: of these, rights to purchase warrants to purchase 1.25 million shares of our common stock are not vested and are not exercisable until a performance contingency is met.

Regarding the aforementioned warrants to purchase 2,295,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share outstanding at March 31, 2021: of the total, warrants to purchase 1,650,000 shares of our common stock are vested, while the remaining warrants to purchase 645,000 shares of our common stock are not vested and are subject to certain conditions and requirements.

At March 31, 2021, the Company also had Series B Preferred Stock outstanding convertible into 40,000 shares of common stock; these are also included in the diluted earnings calculation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326). ASC 326 adds to US GAAP the current expected credit loss model, a measurement model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this new guidance, an entity recognizes its estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. ASU 2016-13 and its amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, though early adoption is permitted. The Company believes the adoption will modify the way the Company analyzes financial instruments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, though early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements.

On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a SEC filer, excluding smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The FASB noted that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company is researching what other pronouncements may be applicable to the Company’s accounting and whether or not any other pronouncements should be adopted.
